New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan returns to the setting of Christmas on the Island and Endless Beach for a heartwarming new novel celebrating the season, and Scotland.On the tiny, beautiful, and remote island of Mure, halfway between Scotland and Norway, a new hotel … This has laughs, it has smiles, it might bring a small tear to your eye near the end. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Colgan has some really interesting material to work with, including mothers who want to return to work but feel guilty, and the loyality a widowed person owes to their dead spouse, but she doesn't develop those themes in a meaning.

It. What’s not to like about a Jenny Colgan Christmas book? Yay!!!! Welcome back. As it is now, there are approximately 300 pages in the book with 74 chapters, and each chapter switches points of view, making it very disorientating to read if you don’t know the characters already.
It is a great book in general but an awesome Christmas Story. I'm so confused. The plot involved major suspension of disbelief (a spoiled, lazy foreign prince is forced by his father to get a job in the kitchen of a hotel on a small Scottish island). This is the novel for you, so snuggle up with a mug of cocoa or glass of mulled wine and soak in island life as everyone prepares for Christmas. Colgan writes so well. The characters are terrific (you can hear their voices), the setting so wonderfully described (the wind, the rain, the snow), and storytelling magnificent.
Not realizing that this was book 4 in a series, I read it without having read the previous books so It took me a bit of time to sort out who the various characters were. Their stories unfold amidst a close-knit town peopled with memorable characters and delightful details. Chapters alternate character perspectives, delving into ongoing issues with newly widowed Fintan, as he struggles to honor his husband's dreams; Flora, restless during her pregnancy, takes on a larger role in opening the island hotel; and the continued, cutting uncertainty between island doctor Saif, a Syrian refugee, and schoolteacher Lorna. The book wasn't confusing, but I'm sure my enjoyment of it suffered by not knowing the various characters' back stories. Just got the Audible version!

I think it would of been better if I had read the previous books first and had a handle on the characters. Jenny Colgan deftly weaves the personal narratives of the residents of Mure, a small Scottish island, as their lives shift and grow in unexpected ways. The complete turnaround for Candace Blunt the reporter was a little much but it was Christmas after all! This book made me very happy. Back in Mure, this time for Christmas, readers visit again with Flora and Joel and all of their family and friends.
Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC. Ashley Poston made her name with Once Upon a Con, a contemporary series set in the world of fandom, and her two-part space opera, Heart of... To see what your friends thought of this book. As with the previous book, there are those of us who'd love to visit or live on a remote Scottish island where the world that revolves around.
