The brand new feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author, Jenny Colgan.

Carmen is at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the filming site of a cheesy Christmas movie, she's been ousted from her sister's house, and the love of her life has just flown thousands of miles away. It's threatening to be a very unjolly Christmas indeed!

But when the elderly owner of the shop comes to Carmen with a Christmas wish that threatens to never come true, Carmen knows she must buckle down to get the funds to save not only his trip, but the shop itself. While fending off a shady tatt-selling businessman, Carmen discovers wonders to the shop she could have never imagined, and opens a labyrinth of bookish backrooms for the customers to get lost in.

With her deadline looming, it might take more than a fresh coat of paint to solve Carmen's problems. But with the help of their neighbours, her nieces and nephew, and a very distractingly cute male nanny, Carmen might just pull her greatest magic trick yet...

Beautiful

A lovely story beautifully narrated. Another book by Jenny Colgan who has a knack of telling a tale in a gentle, calm and amusing way. The Edinburgh bookshop is under threat and Carmen works to save it, grant her elderly employer his dream while balancing life with her sister and children, a ‘manny’ and a fabulous boyfriend. This is one of my favourite Jenny Colgan books which I’m sure is an excellent read, but is brought to life with the narration of Eilidh Beaton as always.

Fine as an easy listen, narration is good. Sadly not Christmassy until the end though.
