An Island Christmas

A Novel

De: Nancy Thayer

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

In this enchanting holiday novel from New York Times best-selling author Nancy Thayer, family and friends gather on Nantucket for a gorgeous winter wedding with plenty of merry surprises in store.

As Christmas draws near, Felicia returns to her family’s home on the island to marry her adventurous, rugged boyfriend, Archie. Every detail is picture-perfect for a dream wedding: the snow-dusted streets, twinkling lights in the windows, a gorgeous red and white satin dress. Except a lavish ceremony is not Felicia’s dream at all; it’s what her mother, Jilly, wants. Jilly’s also worried that her daughter’s life with daredevil Archie will be all hiking and skydiving. Wondering if their handsome neighbor Steven Hardy might be a more suitable son-in-law, Jilly embarks on a secret matchmaking campaign for Felicia and the dashing stockbroker.

As the big day approaches and Jilly’s older daughter, Lauren, appears with rambunctious kids in tow, tensions in the household are high. With the family careening toward a Yuletide wedding disaster, an unexpected twist in Nancy Thayer’s heartwarming tale reminds everyone about the true meaning of the season.

Normal life with happy accidents,

A lovely holiday story, with the ups and downs, and ups of a real life kind of family.

Fun and Festive

I love this story! I’ve listen to it on audio about four times and I just love it! It’s fun, relaxing, and warm!

Terrible

I couldn't decide what was worse - the absence of a plot, or the level in which the author went into minute detail of every. little. thing. It's basically 4 hours of syrupy sweet fluff that will make you want to punch Christmas in the face. I'd say the best part about this book is it's short.

Narrator is horrible!!!

Not sure why they would have a narrator with a lisp, sorry but really annoying to listen to.

Not so good

I just could not get into this story, mainly because of the narrator, Tanya Eby. She does not have the voice for narrating. When she is just reading it’s barely tolerable, but when she does the other voices I just can’t take it and have to fast forward. I just could not seem to grasp what the story was about so I finally quit. Usually Nancy Thayers Books are excellent! I have read many many, actually listen to them per audible and most of them I’m listening to for a second time. Usually she chooses good narrators just not at this time, sorry.
