'Nobody does get-away-from-it-all romance like Jenny Colgan' Sunday Express


Christmas on the remote Scottish island of Mure is bleak, stark - and incredibly beautiful.

'An evocative, sweet treat' Jojo Moyes

'Gorgeous, glorious, uplifting' Marian Keyes

'A cracker - the must-read this festive season' Sun

'Irresistible' Jill Mansell

'Just lovely' Katie Fforde

'Naturally funny, warm-hearted' Lisa Jewell

'A gobble-it-all-up-in-one-sitting kind of book' Mike Gayle

It's a time for hunkering down, getting cosy in front of whisky barrel wood fires, and enjoying a dram with the people you love - unless, of course, you're accidentally pregnant to your ex-boss and don't know how to tell him. In what should be the season of peace and goodwill on earth, will Joel think Flora is a bearer of glad tidings?

Meanwhile, Saif, the doctor and refugee from war-torn Syria, is trying to enjoy his first western Christmas with his sons - but without his missing wife. Can the little family possibly find comfort and joy?

Travel to the beautiful northern edge of the world and join the welcoming community of Mure for an unforgettable Christmas.
