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

Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop follows Carmen, who finds herself at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the filming site of a 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.

With her deadline looming, and 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...
