Resumen del Editor

The Instant New York Times Best Seller!

“Sublime ... Colgan infuses her latest book with humor, wit, suspense and a perfectly cast love triangle.” (USA Today)

"The Christmas Bookshop is literary hot chocolate with a bourbon shot: hot, sweet but with a surprising emotional kick." (The Times (UK))

Perfect for the holidays! A brand-new heartwarming Christmas novel from the beloved New York Times best-selling author of The Bookshop on the Corner and Christmas at the Island Hotel.

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal.

Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there, either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Thrown rather suddenly into the inner workings of Mr. McCredie’s ancient bookshop on the picturesque streets of historic Edinburgh, Carmen is intrigued despite herself. The store is dusty and disorganized, but undeniably charming. Can she breathe some new life into it in time for Christmas shopping? What will happen when a famous and charismatic author takes a sudden interest in the bookshop - and Carmen? And will the Christmas spirit be enough to help heal her fractured family?

Lovely holiday listen

I loved the setting of this story. In my mind Edinburg is now pictured as a truly magical place. The voices were a bit whiny and took some getting used to but I did like the accents. The story is a lot about finding yourself and reconnecting with family with a little romance and a lot of Christmas spirit mixed in.

Lovely

Absolutely loved this book! I was sad when it ended.. I hope the author writes a sequel .. snd Netflix needs to make it into a movie!!

Great refreshing story! Loved it!

Loved it! Loved the setting, the story and the narrator was amazing! I think I’m hooked on Jenny Colgan’s books!

Festive Christmas Love Story

The story was interesting and well written. I would have enjoyed it even more if the author would not have used the “f word” on several occasions, which was very unnecessary and added nothing to the story.

Lovely story

Loved this book. Listening to it in Audible is the opportunity to hear the wonderful accents as they should be.
Delightful heartfelt and in the spirit of Christmas. I completely forgot about the potion until the very end.

Fun and perfect

I loved this book. It was witty and heart warming. A much needed break from the daily grind. I finished it in a week. Lovely for the Christmas spirit.

Holiday happiness

An enchanting story with a beautiful backdrop and a variety of characters peppered throughout to keep you intrigued.

wonderful story and narrator

I loved this book so much, and I thought the narrator did a great job. Some of the characters took a while to grow on me, but well worth the wait. This is now in my top 2 favorite Christmas books.

Delightful! Excellent storytelling

The story and authentic narration transform the listener to another world. Full of life lessons for family relationships. Bravo!!!

Loved it.

I usually only read mysteries when I’m reading for relaxation. I thought I’d try a Christmas book. So glad I did!
