The Battle of Life: A Love Story
The Battle of Life: A
Love Story is Christmas novella number four by Charles Dickens, first published
in 1846.
It is set in an
English village that stands on the site of a historic battle.
Some characters refer
to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title.
Uniquely it is the
only one of the five Christmas Books that has no religious of supernatural
themes and is ostensibly a love story for two sisters, Grace and Marion.
As is typical with
Dickens however the ending is a happy one.
