CHRISTMAS AT TIFFANY'S is one of those novels that a
reader can fall into
and leave their own life behind, visiting places in their
imagination that one may
not get to experience as easily in real life. Written by
Karen Swan, this is one of
the best novels you will read this year. Regardless of
the awful circumstances
that Cassie, the main character, has faced, a trip to
visit three long time friends
in New York, Paris, and London turns out to be a trip of a
lifetime.
The synopsis of this novel is that Cassie is
divorcing her husband of ten
years for a good reason. Her three friends who live in
three different countries try
to help her heal and put her life back together by
spending a few months with
each of them. Her adventures lead her to do things that
she never thought she
could, have dreams that she never thought possible, and
realize that there is love
where she never thought to look.
This novel made me laugh with the colorful characters that
Karen Swan
gave Cassie as friends in her travels. Characters that
brought out the best in
Cassie and those that helped her grow when she needed
them. It also made me
cry when devastation rocked her world sending her the
shock of a lifetime. One
that I felt was worse than her failing marriage. It is so
well written that I couldn't
help but get emotional during those few pages. Each place
took you on a tour, so
to speak, with Cassie. I loved the friends she made in New
York and as I was
reading I dreaded her leaving to go to Paris. Things
started out there differently
and I wondered if I would actually like this part of the
story. However, everything
that happened in Paris made sense at the end when she
finally ends up in
London. Therefore, changing my first view about what all
really happened there
as well as the feelings I had for her friend, Anouk.
CHRISTMAS AT TIFFANY'S by Karen Swan, is a must read this
holiday season
if you are looking for the Christmas novel that will
leave you in awe for
days to come. You will laugh and cry as you experience one
year in the eyes of
the main character and maybe learn a little something new
about yourself too.
What do you do when the man you pledged your life to breaks
your heart and shatters your dreams? You pack your bags and
travel the big, wide world to find your destiny—and your
true love . . .
Ten years ago, a young and naïve Cassie married her first
serious boyfriend, believing he would be with her forever.
Now her marriage is in tatters and Cassie has no career or
home of her own. Though she feels betrayed and confused,
Cassie isn't giving up. She's going to take control of her
life. But first she has to find out where she belongs . . .
and who she wants to be.
Over the course of one year, Cassie leaves her sheltered
life in rural Scotland to stay with her best friends living
in the most glamorous cities in the world: New York, Paris,
and London. Exchanging comfort food and mousy hair for a
low-carb diet and a gorgeous new look, Cassie tries each
city on for size as she searches for the life she's meant to
have . . . and the man she's meant to love.
