It's the most wonderful time of the year… and the
perfect moment to escape to a charming English village! From
the beloved author whose novels are "sheer indulgence from
start to finish" (SOPHIE KINSELLA) comes a delightful
holiday story — funny, heartfelt, romantic and packed with
recipes — perfect for the winter months.
In the Cornish coastal village of Mount Polbearne, the
Christmas season has arrived. It’s a joyous time for family,
friends, and feasting, as decorations sparkle along the
town’s winding streets and shop windows glow with festive
displays. And in Polly’s Little Beach Street Bakery, the
aroma of gingerbread cookies and other treats tempts people
in from the cold.
Though Polly is busy keeping up with the demands of the
season, she still makes time for her beekeeper boyfriend,
Huckle. She’s especially happy to be celebrating the holiday
this year with him, and can’t wait to cuddle up in front of
the fireplace with a cup of eggnog on Christmas Eve.
But holiday bliss soon gives way to panic when a storm cuts
the village off from the mainland. Now it will take all of
the villagers to work together in order to ensure everyone
has a happy holiday.
Full of heart and humor, Jenny Colgan’s latest novel
is an instant Christmastime classic.
