About this listen
Can wacky Christmas jumpers really mend a broken heart? For fans of Jenny Colgan and anyone looking to replace their #GBBO fix.
Heartbroken after being jilted at the altar, Sybil has been saved from despair by her knitting obsession and now her home is filled to bursting with tea cosies, bobble hats, and jumpers. But, after discovering that she may have perpetrated the cock-up of the century at work, Sybil decides to make a hasty exit and, just weeks before Christmas, runs away to the picturesque village of Tindledale.
There, Sybil discovers Hettie’s House of Haberdashery, an emporium dedicated to the world of knitting and needle craft. But Hettie, the outspoken octogenarian owner, is struggling and now the shop is due for closure. And when Hettie decides that Sybil’s wonderfully wacky Christmas jumpers are just the thing to add a bit of excitement to her window display, something miraculous starts to happen…

As soon as I started I couldn’t stop listening, the narrator was PERFECT for the story. So heart warming, you can predict the ending but it makes it more special that it does happen. I hope we hear more from sibs & Hetty! I’d love a second book on the success of the store x
Aww such a lovely listen!

The characters are delightful (well nearly all) and were brought to life so clearly by the author.
The narrator gets top marks too
And for a knitter such as I, it was incredible to have a book and storyline weaving this into it.
Now I have to download her second book (and I do hope there's another on the way!)
