Life has not turned out as planned for Sybil. Left at the
altar six months ago by Luke, who ran off with her twin sister
Sasha, Sybil is struggling with such a betrayal and cannot
seem to drag herself back into the living world. Working in a
local council job that she hates, with an overbearing mother
who desperately wants to keep up appearances, and living in a
grotty flat, the only light in Sybil's world is her dog Basil,
and her love of knitting and needlework. But her dream of one
day running her own knitwear business is slipping further and
further away, as she aimlessly wanders from one day to
another. When an incident that may be her fault occurs at work, she decides a
break to see her best friend Cher is needed, and the village of Tindledale
sounds
perfect.
Tindledale is a picture perfect village in the English
countryside that looks like an idyllic Christmas scene,
complete with snow, village square and nosy neighbours. But as
Sybil finds herself immersed into village life, she begins to
see her old, happy self re-emerge. From the sexy Dr. Darcy, to
the flamboyant Lawrence, Sybil learns the true meaning of
friendship. With plenty of secrets, scandals, sadness and
love, this village has it all. But when Hettie, who owns the
local Haberdashery store, needs urgent help, can the village
come to the rescue in time? And when Sybil's past arrives in
Tindledale and she is forced to face her demons, will she get
sucked back into the sorrow of her life back home?
THE GREAT CHRISTMAS KNIT OFF by Alexandra Brown is a novel
that warms your heart and leaves you totally in love with the
village of Tindledale. With wonderful characters that are
realistic, emotional and full of depth, I completely fell
under their spell. Watching Sybil slowly piece her life back
together, I really hoped that she would find a way to be happy
and achieve her dreams. Hettie's tale touched my heart and I
fell in love with the entire community. If you want a magical,
Winter tale that will capture your imagination, THE GREAT
CHRISTMAS KNIT OFF by Alexandra Brown is the perfect choice.
In the tradition of Trisha Ashley and Jenny Colgan, this
first book in a new series by Alexandra Brown—author of the
popular Cupcakes at Carrington’s series—tells the hilarious,
heartwarming story of a jilted bride who anticipates a
lonely Christmas but instead finds herself in the tiny
village of Tindledale, where the residents share her
obsession with knitting.
When life unravels, it’s time to knit…
Sybil has always taken comfort in her passion for knitting,
creating beautiful knits stitch by stitch. But her world
suddenly unravels when her fiancé ditches her for her
identical twin sister at her Star Wars-themed wedding,
leaving her sporting a Princess Leia do. Then things go from
bad to worse when an incident at work jeopardizes her job.
Hoping to escape her woes and forget that she’ll be alone
for Christmas this year, she visits her friend in
Tindledale—a winter wonderland of quaint shops and snowy
rooftops. When she arrives in the idyllic town, she can’t
help feeling like she’s in a Hallmark greeting card. She’s
embraced by welcoming—if eccentric—locals wearing handmade
knits that remind Sybil of her own creations as well as her
unrealized ambitions of selling them. So when the vintage
boutique asks her to make an assortment of knits for their
display window, she’s thrilled. The hot town doctor has even
taken an interest in Sybil, hoping to heal her broken heart.
But just when Sybil thinks she’s going to have her fairytale
Christmas after all, an unexpected turn of events threatens
to unspool her happily ever after.
