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.
