Publisher Description
The instant New York Times bestseller!
“Sublime…Colgan infuses her latest book with humor, wit, suspense and a perfectly cast love triangle.”--USA Today
""The Christmas Bookshop is literary hot chocolate with a bourbon shot: hot, sweet but with a surprising emotional kick.""--The Times (UK)
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?
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
The narration is fabulous, as is the story. Quite engaging. I am enjoying it more than anticipated.
The author paints a vivid picture that allows the imagination to create a lovely scene throughout
Great plot
The plot was detailed enough that I wasn’t able to predict it, even through to the end. It was a nice change of pace from most modern Christmas books. Highly recommend!
A heartwarming and romantic story!
I first have to say that the narrator, Eilidh Beaton, is PHENOMENAL!! She is so versatile with all the voices!!! The women, children and men old and young!! She is INCREDIBLE!!
This wasn’t my favorite story of the series, but I still LOVED it and flew through it!! I’ve fallen in love with Scotland from this series. The characters in this story and their growth are AMAZING!! Carmen and Oke won my heart!! Oke is really special and very sweet!!
I loved how Carmen came to appreciate her family, her sister and nieces and nephew. She really grew up a lot throughout the story. I love that!!
I love this author’s writing and would read anything she writes!!
