A Christmas story without the mistletoe and the message, but no less movingKIRKUS REVIEWS
The story begins as an ambulance pulls away from the butchers shop, taking Mick to the hospital after he has carelessly hacked off a finger while preparing Johns order. Johns wife, Marguerite, and two young children are forced to live with his uncle until he can find work. Marguerite has a brief affair, an escape from the poverty and boredom of day-to-day life - and John, attempting to make amends for Micks lost finger, is chased down by the butchers buddies.
These tumultuous events all take place during the first twenty-five days of December, leaving each character facing a Christmas of poverty, impossible love and loneliness.
