About this book

Winter darkness gathers around Redlaw, a chemistry teacher whose home combines a laboratory, a library and an old college dwelling hemmed in by the city. Firelight turns his instruments into strange shapes, while his grave voice and withdrawn manner suggest a mind occupied by the past. Charles Dickens builds this Christmas ghost story from the uneasy meeting of familiar household objects and the memories they awaken.

Alongside that shadowed setting, a conversation between Milly and the recovering Edmund brings care and gratitude into focus. Milly believes illness and sorrow can make people more aware of the kindness around them. Edmund responds impatiently, treating the help he has received as a service that can be paid for.
