Miss Kane's Christmas by Caroline Mickelson

It makes you realise that all our families and Christmases run along a similar vein. Guaranteed to make the grown up in you feel like a child.Ī very quick read that is perfect for Christmas Eve. Yes, it’s candy canes and gingerbread men all the way. Switch off with the magic of the season – 2 adorable children, a sad, grumpy single dad and a gorgeous au pair aka Santa’s daughter. A short read for an afternoon snuggled up on the sofa when the reality of Christmas has got too much for you. Think Mary Poppins mixed with all your favourite Christmas movies mixed up into one and put in a book. If this doesn’t give you some Christmas spirit nothing will. Miss Kane’s Christmas – Caroline Mickelson Refreshing to read of the chaos of Christmas rather than the usual picture postcard version often seen in movies and books. A light-hearted quick read portraying the festive celebrations told by the family’s bulldog. Highly recommended even though it made me cry … a lot!įree on Kindle Unlimited/sometimes on Prime Reading Make sure you find out stories from your elderly family before it’s too late, it’s so easy to forget they had a life before they got old. Parts of the story were in current day and had me picturing my own nan making Christmas puddings right into her senior years. This story is incredibly romantic and heartbreaking and made me think of those who’ve left us.

Set in Cornwall at Christmas, there’s plenty of description and Cornish history to picture how the village was now and during the war. It had me captivated and moved to tears pretty much all the way through.

I’m not generally keen on period fiction, but The Last Card was so interesting and informative of what people had to endure back then. Grandma Lily (known affectionately as Grilly) finds a Christmas card from the 1940s and proceeds to tell her grandaughter Ellen about the time she fell in love with an American serviceman during the war. Warning this is a real tear jerker so make sure you have hankies at the ready. Johnathon Hill – Mo Mo Mo! Merry Christmas Maureen The Last Card by Ruth Saberton
