It’s Christmas at a grand English estate, and the halls are filled with guests, gossip, and quiet secrets. Among them is Maurice Treherne, a war-injured soldier confined to a wheelchair, and his cousin Octavia, who is about to be engaged to a man she may not love.
When a strange figure appears in the old abbey chapel, whispered legends of a ghostly abbot suddenly feel very real. Is it just a trick of the mind, or a warning from the past?
As tensions rise and truths begin to surface, love, jealousy, and long-buried emotions threaten to upend the carefully composed holiday celebration.
Written by the author of Little Women, The Abbot’s Ghost blends family drama, romance, and mystery in a tightly woven Christmas tale with a supernatural twist.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, gentle ghost stories, and classic holiday reads.

Germantown, Pensilvania, 1832-Boston, Massachusetts, 1888. Recibió de su padre buena parte de su educación y estuvo en contacto con algunas personalidades destacadas, como Emerson, Thoreau o Theodore Parker. Desempeñó diversos trabajos para sobrellevar las dificultades económicas de su familia formada por cuatro hermanas y los padres de ella, y decidió trabajar como enfermera voluntaria durante la Guerra de Secesión, experiencia que recogió en el libro Hospital Sketches (1863). No obstante, pronto tuvo que abandonar esa ocupación porque contrajo el tifus. A partir de entonces pudo dedicarse por completo a la escritura. Entre los libros que publicó se cuentan algunos relatos que aparecieron bajo pseudónimo. Fue gracias a la publicación de Mujercitas (1868-1869) que se convirtió en una escritora verdaderamente popular. El éxito fue rotundo e inmediato, y a esta le siguieron otras novelas como Una muchacha anticuada (1870), Hombrecitos (1871), Trabajo. Un relato de vivencias (1873), Eight cousins (1875) o Rose in Bloom (1876).
