One of the Family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the Family (1993) was the last novel written by Monica Dickens, great grand-daughter of Charles Dickens. It is set in Edwardian London where the world, like main character Leonard Morley's life, is changing.

We start the book with a single note which seems to leave a smudge on Leonard and his family life. The book continues with himself, two sons, a daughter and a wife as well as a large extended family all making room for one more, when curiously charming 'Doctor' Tobias Taylor appears on the scene. However curiosity killed more than just a cat, as the family soon finds out.
