About this listen
Escape to a cosy festive bookshop this winter with this pause-resisting and magical treat.
The brand-new feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top 10 best-selling author Jenny Colgan.
Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So, when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is more than a little lost.
When her sister, Sofia, mentions an opportunity in Edinburgh - a cute little bookshop, the spare room in her house - Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas.
What Sofia didn't say is that the shop is on its last legs and that if Carmen can't help turn things around before Christmas, the owner will be forced to sell. Privately, Sofia is sure it will take more than a miracle to save the store, but maybe this Christmas, Carmen might surprise them all....

A little disappointed
I generally love Jenny Colgan’s novels, but this one was a bit disappointing. The story had no grip, it was very monotonous, no highs and lows that keeps your attention. It’s a story that you can run in the background, if you lose attention you will still understand what’s happening, because nothing much happens really.

Just listen to this, you won't regret it
I have laughed aloud many many times while listening to this. I've also gasped once or twice too. It was magnificent. The story is so incrediblg well-written with dialogue following such a natural flow; the main character annoying me in the first chapter or two before growing on me as she grows up and gets her act together. The children are hilarious and were so perfectly acted out by the narrator, along with all the other chracters for that matter.
Such a fabulous story that I could easily listen to it again.

Easy Christmas listening
Gentle feel-good narrative about family relations. The narrator does a pretty good job with all the voices and I liked her accent. It really brings the city of Edinburgh alive.

Cosy easy listen
A cosy and easy listen. At times a little slow and cliche but nice to listen to as Christmas approaches.

Easy, pleasant, light listen
Enjoyed the story and the narration. The reader brought all the characters to life, and drew you in to the family beautifully.
