AS USUAL A WONDERFUL BOOK
This story is a continuation of "Christmas in Cornwall" with some new characters and
expansion of the story in the first book. As Always Marcia Willett's story is a gem. She resembles Rosamunde Pilcher in her writing style.
. So if you like Pilcher you will love Marcia Willett. I only wish there were MORE Marcia Willet novels available at Audible I would get every one
The narration was excellent. Perfect dictation made listening a pleasure.

Comfortably quaint
the thing I love the most about Marcia Willet is how she creates characters dimensional. Even the worse people are not all bad, there is always a gray area and some good to be found. Her books give me a warm and comfortable feeling just being in them.
