Charles Dickens's Tiny Tim is all grown up in Louis Bayard's Mr. Timothy.
Tim, 23, is now crutch-free and a budding investigator, but he's having a hard time shedding parts of his youth, including his deceased father's expectations and his financial dependence on 'Uncle' Ebenezer Scrooge.
To escape his problems, Tim disappears into 1860s London, taking a room at a brothel in exchange for teaching its madam how to read. He stops contacting his brother and Scrooge, who are all that's left of his family. "
