This is the first book I have read by this author. The fact that it revolves around both a bookshop and Christmas is what made me want to read this novel. I was also intrigued by the book blurb. Even though this book is listed as religious fiction, there are a few things mentioned that I do not typically see in Christian fiction. However, it was still clean in my opinion. I did have to refer back to the family tree a few times when I first started reading this novel but after a while I was able to keep up with who was who. This book had so many great themes to it including forgiveness of yourself as well as others, the importance of family, the importance of living out your values, and giving grace to others to name a few. I really enjoyed all of the interactions between the main characters in this novel. I would definitely recommend this book.
