When the McBride sisters return to their family home in the Scottish Highlands for Christmas, old tensions and new secrets begin to bubble to the surface.
Their adoptive mother, Suzanne, is determined to create the perfect family atmosphere for the season, but the McBride’s must first face their past before they can begin a new future together.
I always love Sarah Morgan’s books, but it made a lovely change to read one set, mostly, in the UK. And what a wonderful setting it was, the Scottish Highlands made for an idyllic location for this festive family tale.
The narrative was told from four points of view, Suzanne’s and her 3 daughters - Posy, Beth and Hannah. I really enjoyed that each chapter told another perspective as the four characters were so different in their personalities.
Usually I find at least one character that grates on me in a book with multiple protagonists, but Morgan has again succeeded in doing the opposite. The people she creates are always relatable and due to this they are easily lovable. It was a joy to watch the sisters unfold and come to trust each other and more importantly themselves as the story developed.
All in all, a heart-warming family story, perfect for the festive season.
