Angenehmes Buch zum Lesen, gerade zur Übung der Sprache.

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down. It is currently 1.40am and I have just finished. Jenny Colgan's words painted beautiful pictures in my mind as I read this beautiful book.

This feels like it's a Christmas redemption sort of a story as Carmen is rather tricky to get to know initially, let alone like, is the main character, and over the course of the book I found myself really warming up to her and loving her. She has a tricky relationship with her sister, and barely knows her nieces and nephews and isn't really that impressed with the job that has been found for her. But as the story progresses you see changes in Carmen, in part due to the attentions of two men in different ways, and in part it's an internal change. I loved seeing how she tries to transform McCreadie's bookshop and in fact is able to to do so much, she just doesn't believe in herself. I was frustrated with Carmen for parts of the book but ultimately really did love her, and was rooting for her. Set in a snowy Edinburgh, with a slight cameo from a character from one of Jenny Colgan's other Scottish based books in passing but enough to make me smile, and all manner of fabulous secondary characters, this is a book that ultimately stole my heart. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it, full of the author's trademark warmth, this really was a gorgeous Christmas story.
