I loved this book! A great Christmas read for adults and young adults. Viola and Jimmy are charming characters. Even when the book was finished I wanted to be with them just a bit longer. It made me yearn for my own grandmother and to have just one more precious opportunity to sit with her and listen to the unique stories of her life growing up in rural Iowa. The Christmas Letter is a heartwarming, well written novel.
