A transfixing parable of greed, goodness and an extraordinary miracle from the author of The Woman in Black.
Tommy Carr was a kind man; Eve had been able to tell that after half an hour of knowing him. There had never been a day when he had not shown her some small kindness and even after the tragic death of their young daughter, their relationship remained as strong as before. Grief takes its toll however, and it’s not surprising that by the following Christmas, Tommy is a shadow of his former self, with the look of death upon him.
But what happens next is entirely unexpected, not least for the kind man...
