The first pages were great and i thought i'd enjoy this book but then we went to a different time zone and i got rather confused.. there seemed to be lots of different names popping up and i couldn't follow just the one person.. I will probably give it another go next Christmas but for now, its on hold I got about 15% in and decided not to carry on..

Picking it up 3 years later and re-starting, I can see what annoyed me so much the first time round. Williams is obsessed with giving every dull back-story, and explaining her characters at length every time they manage a 'hello', treating her readers as complete imbeciles who need everything spelt out and repeated. A scream of 'show' don't 'tell' was relentlessly cannoning round my brain. Bah humbug. Still, it had an attractive seasonal cover. Merry Christmas. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

It's the most wonderful time of year. Isn't it?Discover the true spirit of Christmas with this seasonal treat for fans of Love, Actually and The Holiday. Contains a sneak preview of the sequel, A Merry Little Christmas. Catherine Tinsall is gearing up for Christmas - in the middle of summer. As the Writer in Chief on Happy Homes magazine, she is putting together a 'perfect Christmas' competition, to remind readers of the festive season's true meaning. In the sleepy Shropshire village of Hope Christmas, Marianne Mistletan enters with the suggestion that her village's nativity play be held in the ancient chapel of Fitzcross Manor, home to the St Nicholas family. Catherine is completely entranced by the idea, and Marianne to her delight finds that she has won. Waiting in the wings to help Marianne organise the set design is the cool and charismatic Joe Carpenter, who may or may not be just what she wants for Christmas. Meanwhile, for Catherine, the Happy Homemaker image is wearing thin, as her fifteen-year old marriage appears to be in trouble. Then tragedy strikes and Catherine is forced to reassess her priorities, and work out what the perfect Christmas really means. And overseeing it all, is the figure of John St Nicholas, lord of the manor and perhaps, for some, a Christmas angel… For anyone who's wondered whether Christmas is over-priced hype, think again… - Pastures New was a Top 10 Heatseeker with sales in excess of 60k to date. - Perfect for fans of films such as Love, Actually and It's a Wonderful Life as well as Jill Mansell and Harriet Evans. - Gorgeous packaging makes it the ideal Christmas gift - or treat for yourself! - Rights sold across Europe. - Major publicity campaign on surviving Christmas. - Competition to win a 5-star Christmas.
