The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)
In 1843, despite the fact that Dickens is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads, until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind; an old, lonely, embittered man, so vivid, so human, that a whole world grows around him, a story so inspiring that changed the meaning of Christmas forever. london, england, husband wife relationship, based on novel or book, holiday, disabled child, victorian england, debt, literary agent, poverty, child labor, novelist, publisher, housemaid, christmas, 19th century, self publishing, slum dwellers, father son relationship, book writing
