Synopsis


Set in a chocolate-box village, a woman makes a surprising connection with a pen-pal that will change her life - and warm your heart - in the new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Swan. It had been a make-or-break holiday for their marriage, but Natasha and Rob’s rekindled romance is short-lived when their daughter’s beloved soft toy disappears on the journey home. As Natasha comforts the distraught child, she turns to social media for help. Miraculously, the toy is found, but it has become the lucky mascot of a man named Duffy, who is thousands of miles away. When Duffy promises to keep Natasha updated with pictures, the pair begin a correspondence that soon becomes more meaningful to both of them. Sometimes, Natasha feels this stranger understands her more than the man lying next to her. But as the weeks pass and Duffy heads deeper into the mountains, Natasha begins to notice a change in him. Then one day, the messages stop. Too late, Natasha wonders why he had ever needed a lucky mascot at all. From the picture-perfect Cotswolds to the majesty of the Himalayan foothills, The Christmas Postcards is a novel about how the closest connections can be the furthest apart.


My Review


This was a wonderful and so very unique Christmas story. I just couldn't put it down and had to binge read it in one day. It took me on the most wonderful reading journey that I didn't want to end. Its obviously a brilliant page turning novel. It made me feel so happy reading it. I just loved the fact that the child's toy got to go on the journey of a lifetime. It had some great unexpected events and had me gripped to the progress. I was on the edge of my seat at the end. The characters were fantastic, lovable and realistic. The story-line was just brilliant and so very unexpected. It definitely isn't Christmas until you have read the Christmas novel by Karen Swan. This was certainly an amazing break from the normal Christmas romance novels. I really can't recommend this book enough. This book is definitely a mystery read bookthat will take you on such a wonderful heartbreaking and heartwarming adventure.

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such an amazing story that will take you on an emotional adventure. I will definitely be reading more books from this fantastic author.
