The blurb:
Heartbroken Cerrie Austin is doing her best to hold it together
in the run up to Christmas. Not easy when her cheating ex works in the same
school and everyone’s eyes are on her. The last thing she needs is a new
teacher meddling in her beloved nativity play, even if he is charming, handsome
and a talented musician. The Christmas performance is her pride and joy, and
she won’t be undermined.
Seren
McArthur has recently returned to her Cornish hometown and is enjoying being
close to her family and her oldest friends again. St Ives is at its most
magical at Christmas, with fairy lights and tinsel in every shop window,
tempting locals and holidaymakers alike as they pick up gifts. But an exciting
opportunity is just around the corner: will she stay or will she go?
Meanwhile,
the St Ives Christmas celebrations are in crisis: plans for a giant lantern
parade through the starlit streets have ground to a halt. As the snow starts to
fall, can Cerrie, Seren and their friends Kieran and Aggie rally around in time
to save the big day?
Christmas
in St Ives is a charming
novella that introduces you to the characters from Miranda Dickinson’s upcoming
novel, Somewhere Beyond the
Sea.
My Opinion:
Christmas
in St. Ives a lovely and festive short story
introducing us to the characters of Miranda Dickinson’s upcoming novel Somewhere Beyond the Sea.
My favourite character was Cerrie Austin. She is a
teacher preparing her class for the Christmas play. The trouble is her ex works
at the school, he cheated on her and then another teacher comes along, getting involved
into the play. I could really relate to
Cerrie and loved following her story.
Seren McArthur has returned to her hometown and finds
herself close to her family and old friends again. She makes beautiful
jewellery. Aggie and Kieran are wonderful characters as well, just a great
bunch of friends to read about.
I absolutely adore Miranda Dickinson’s writing. It’s
warm, passionate, full of details and just magical. I loved every second of
this book and it made me really excited for the full size book coming next
year. Do I really have to wait until June 2018?!
The story covers topics like love, family,
relationships, friendship, trust, honesty and much more. The setting is
absolutely beautiful and of course it includes a lot of christmassy elements,
which is just fantastic.
JUST MAGICAL!!!
