Charles Dickens should be looking forward to Christmas. But when his latest book, Martin Chuzzlewit is a flop, his publishers give him an ultimatum. Either he writes a Christmas book in a month or they will call in his debts and he could lose everything. Dickens has no choice but to grudgingly accept.
Yet inspiration is slow to strike, and in his desperate search for ideas, Dickens becomes increasingly distant from his own family as his fascination with a mysterious woman and her young son develops. But all is not as it seems ...

Wonderful. A fitting homage to a great writer. But beware, you'll need to have a tissue or two handy. I got through several.

Taking to today's meet up.

Picked up over lunch.
