"Ta książka to literacka gorąca czekolada! Ostatnie, o czym marzy Carmen, to spędzanie świąt Bożego Narodzenia w idealnym domu swojej idealnej starszej siostry Sofii, z jej idealnym mężem i idealnymi dziećmi. W dodatku Sofia próbuje na siłę uporządkować życie Carmen, co jej samej się wcale nie podoba. Nie ma jednak wielkiego wyboru: zwolniono ją z pracy w rodzinnym miasteczku i teraz nie ma ani pieniędzy, ani planu B. Na kilka tygodni przed Gwiazdką przenosi się więc za namową mamy i siostry do malowniczego Edynburga i zatrudnia w upadającej księgarence, by pomóc jej starszemu, ekscentrycznemu właścicielowi tchnąć życie w zapomniany sklepik. Ta misja wydaje jej się jednak niemożliwa do spełnienia… Czy Carmen odnajdzie wspólny język z nowym szefem? Co się stanie, gdy księgarnią – i jej nową pracownicą – zainteresuje się sławny i charyzmatyczny pisarz? Czy świąteczny nastrój wystarczy, aby naprawić trudne siostrzane relacje? Czy w natłoku zajęć znajdzie się jeszcze miejsce na odrobinę miłości?... Urocza, optymistyczna książka na okołoświąteczny czas!"
Born into a family of successful pilots, Morag is used to flying high. But when a tragic accident above the clouds grounds her, could the future she'd always imagined be suddenly out of reach?
When she receives a call telling her that her beloved grandfather has been taken ill, Morag leaves her fast-paced life in London to return home to the tranquil Scottish Highlands. With her grandfather out of action, Morag has no choice but to take over flying the local route in his rickety old plane, ferrying locals across the beautiful islands of the archipelago.
But as the weather takes a dramatic turn, Morag is forced to crash-land on a remote island and suddenly finds herself far from civilisation and all alone. Then she discovers Gregor, the gruff and reclusive ornithologist taking care of the island for the season. Though the pair don't see eye to eye, Morag is forced to seek shelter at his cabin and it seems the pair are stuck together until help arrives. However long that may be . . .
As she awaits rescue, might Morag discover that a remote Scottish island, cut off from real-life, is exactly the place she needs to be?
The brand new feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author, Jenny Colgan.
Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So, when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is more than a little lost.
When her sister, Sofia, mentions an opportunity in Edinburgh – a cute little bookshop, the spare room in her house – Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas.
What Sofia didn’t say is that the shop is on its last legs and that if Carmen can’t help turn things around before Christmas, the owner will be forced to sell. Privately, Sofia is sure it will take more than a miracle to save the store, but maybe this Christmas, Carmen might surprise them all…

Snuggle up and escape with Jenny Colgan to the beautiful island of Mure this winter
On the tiny Scottish island of Mure, Christmas preparations are even more hectic than usual . . .
Flora Mackenzie is worried about her brother. Fintan hasn't got over the death of his partner, Coltan, and Flora thinks he needs a project.
The Rock - the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the island - was Coltan's passion project before he died. With Flora's help, Fintan is going to get the hotel up and running in time for Christmas, transforming it into a festive haven of crackling log fires and delicious food. But running a hotel, they are about to discover, is not that easy. Especially when their motley staff includes a temperamental French chef, a spoilt Norwegian kitchen boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to her.
Can they pull it together in time for the big opening?
And can Flora help her family find happiness this Christmas?
