Bestselling author Jo Thomas whisks us away to Canada this Christmas to celebrate food, love and friendship in another brilliantly escapist read. 'Jo sweeps you away to a better place with every book, which are always filled with warmth, love and a big spoonful of happiness' Veronica Henry ----------------------------------- Chloe can't wait for Christmas . . . to be over! Her son Ruben is staying with his dad this year and Chloe is planning to ignore the holidays all together. Her only nod to the season is the advent calendar Ruben left her, to help count down the days till he's home again. But then an heir hunter gets in touch, telling her there's a plot of land in Canada she may be entitled to. Surely, it's a scam. Or could it be just the escape she needs right now? They're offering to pay for her flights . . . and Ruben's latest note in the advent calendar tells her to 'say yes!' Suddenly, Chloe's new countdown to Christmas involves a log cabin in the middle of a snowy forest, a community that's worried for its future, a gruff lumberjack who gives her butterflies and a lot of pancakes with maple syrup . . . This Christmas is full of surprises! No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

There's a wonderful cast of characters in this book. The story is told by Chloë and we witness her development from being a stranger in the town to a valued member of the community. There's romance in the form of Theo, a gentle bear of a man, there's friendship with Bea at the local diner, and it was lovely to see how Chloë started to slot in.
Jo Thomas never fails to make me feel that I want to visit the location she's writing about. The town of Forêt des Esprits is very cold and yet so homely and welcoming and cosy. As always, there's a foodie element and here it's the maple syrup that is added to everything including pancakes at the diner and the new dishes that Chloë gets to work creating.
Thomas is one of my favourite authors and I'd read anything she writes. I devoured this book like a plate of the maple syrup covered pancakes that Chloë serves up and I closed the book with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Countdown to Christmas is heartwarming and utterly delightful and it's the perfect read for the festive season. ( )
