Synopsis
Tis the season for finding love… and the perfect book With just two weeks until Christmas, everything in Clove Lore should be perfect. But the latest holidaymaker to the Borrow a Bookshop is feeling far from festive… Icelandic ex-bookseller Magnús Sturluson might be surrounded by love stories in the Bookshop, but he’s nursing a sadness that not even fiction can fix. When Alexandra Robinson finds herself stranded in Clove Lore, she finds a safe place to hide from heartbreak. After all, all that’s waiting for her at home is a cheater boyfriend and the memories of her parents. As Alex finds herself embraced by the quirky village community, she finds her tough exterior thawing – and as she grows closer to Magnús, she finds an equally soft heart under his gruff shell. It seems that Clove Lore is working its magic once again – until a great flood on Christmas Eve brings devastation in its wake. It’s up to Magnús and Alex to batten down the hatches and help bring the village back together again, while also introducing the locals to the Icelandic tradition of the jólabókaflóð – Yule book flood – where families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to exchange books and read together. But can Magnús and Alex truly rescue the ruins of the village, and salvage their Christmas spirit? Or is there another complication lurking even closer than they thought? A totally uplifting read that will lighten the winter gloom, for fans of Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley. Booklovers will adore this seasonal treat!
My Review
This was a brilliant read. I really enjoyed the story-line and read it all in one day. I fell for all the characters and became emotionally invested in their development . I thought this was well wrote and quite a unique story. It actually reminded me of the sister book shop to the bookshop in Wigtown Scotland. It really put me in the mood for the run up Christmas as it wasn't over the top Christmasy. It's one of them relaxing, heartwarming stories that pick you up as the nights get darker. It had a wonderful medium pace to it and a great sense of atmosphere. I definitely recommend this book to those who love a light romantic Christmasy story.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating this wonderful seasonal story to get you in that wintery mood. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this fantastic author.
