Kate’s 2¢: “The Christmas bookshop: a novel” by Jenny Colgan

“The Christmas bookshop: a novel” by Jenny Colgan

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I suspect a lot of us can identify with the older sibling, who is, of course, perfect. How we can never measure up, since we’re always messing up. This story takes us from Carmen’s very worst period in her life to the subline period of her life.  In-between, some wonderful things happen from being wooed by a rich, flamboyant writer to a modest, Quaker lecturer, not to mention how from the mouths of babes  come fabulous, successful ideas to improve the stogie book shop.  

   This would be a good book for the whole family to gather around and read aloud during the cold, winter yule tide.
