With Love at Christmas is a
heartwarming novel from one of my favourite authors - Carole
Matthews.
It follows the life of Juliet Joyce as
she prepares for Christmas. Juliet’s family life is anything but
straightforward and seems to be getting more complicated as Christmas
draws closer. Her mother’s behaviour is becoming stranger and more
erratic by the day. Her father has his own tragedy to deal with and
her daughter, Chloe, is expecting her second baby but has moved home
without her partner. When Juliet’s husband Rick starts acting
strangely she wonders if he has some secrets of his own.
I loved all of the descriptions of
getting ready for Christmas and the preparation of buying presents
and food. Matthews really brings the Joyce family to life and there
are lots of storylines woven into the plot that make an addictive
read.
This is another lovely novel from
Carole Matthews. There are lots of hilarious moments, but also quite
a few heartbreaking ones too. The perfect book to get you in the mood
for Christmas!
Thank you to Sphere for sending me a
copy to review.
