Perfect for the holidays! A brand-new heartwarming Christmas novel from the beloved New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner and Christmas at the Island Hotel.

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life does not appeal.

Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Thrown rather suddenly into the inner workings of Mr. McCredie’s ancient bookshop on the picturesque streets of historic Edinburgh, Carmen is intrigued despite herself. The store is dusty and disorganized but undeniably charming. Can she breathe some new life into it in time for Christmas shopping? What will happen when a famous and charismatic author takes a sudden interest in the bookshop—and Carmen? And will the Christmas spirit be enough to help heal her fractured family?

• A touching holiday read
• Perfect for fans of uplifting winter romances
• A delightful Christmas gift

Enjoyable Read

Nice light read. Interesting characters. I had never heard of author, I will check out some of her other books.

Charming

This story whisks the reader away with its storybook holiday charm. Warmth radiates from the pages despite the frigid setting. This was exactly the type of read I was looking for moving into the Christmas season. While the resolution was a bit of a stretch, the adorable epilogue made up for any disappointment I felt.

Good story

This was a delightful book. Usually I wince if there is any colorful language but it was minimal and didn’t really bother me. I also hesitate at any romance because it usually goes overboard and makes me uncomfortable. This was perfect. If only other authors would follow this format I’d bee over the moon happy.

Great story

Loved this story of renewed relationships, taking chances and learning to forgive and Christmas! It is worth reading!

Lovely Christmas Read

Really enjoyed this book. Has all the elements of a good Christmas story. Narrator is perfect.
