Angol
Isla Stewart has a glittering publishing career in London, but when
she's unexpectedly made redundant, she faces an uncertain future.
Licking her wounds, Isla heads home to the Cotswolds. Keeping her
devastating redundancy a secret from her proud parents, she seeks refuge
at Finch's, the enchanting bookshop she worked in as a teenager. With
the owners struggling with their health, Isla steps in to manage the
shop hoping to convince them that the business has a future.
Isla likes nothing more than chatting to people about books, but her
safe haven is soon disturbed when she comes face-to-face with her first
love, Charlie Brace, made worse by the arrival of Guy Madley, the
incredibly handsome property consultant who has advice for owners Jon
and Miriam.
As Christmas approaches, Isla has decisions to make. Does her future lie
in London or can a whole heap of books and a sprinkling of festive magic
offer a life that she could never even have dreamed of?
Grab a hot chocolate and settle down for the perfect festive read.
Essential reading for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Sarah
Bennett.
