'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 Magn s 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 Magn s, 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 Magn s 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 j lab kafl - Yule book flood - where families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to exchange books and read together.
But can Magn s 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
