The Battle of Life by Charles Dickens
"The Battle of Life" by Charles Dickens is a novella published in 1846. Two sisters, Grace and Marion, live contentedly with their widower father until romantic entanglements threaten their peaceful existence. When Marion vanishes on the day her betrothed returns to marry her, those left behind believe she has eloped with a libertine. Years later, the truth emerges about Marion's disappearance and her true motivations. This lesser-known Christmas tale explores themes of
love, sacrifice, and the battles we face in everyday life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
