DNF I started this on audio a few weeks back, recognised the characters and stopped, and then coincidentally checked out the second book on e-book not realising it was a sequel, read it as I hadn't, checked Goodreads and saw I hadn't read this, and finally listened to it and it was perfect as I'd just read the book before! I think my qualm and my favourite part are the same with the previous book: Saif and the way his story is so unspecific. I'll continue giving major kudos for having him in the story as a normal character. But there's a scene in there with the refugee office that is important but I don't know that this novel was the place for it. And him being torn between a nice island girl and his wife who might be alive and might be dead is just rough, because we're obviously rooting for Lorna due to proximity. Other than that, this was another sweet Colgan book. Very predictable and nothing at all surprising, but lovely nonetheless. With Flora's assurance that birth control was covered, it is no wonder that Joel feels that he has no choice when his freedom disappears in that age old Pregnancy trap. As well, still no reason given why Flora stays so meek around overbearing Jan. With Saif as the main hero, it would be welcome to learn more of Syria's history. Jenny Colgan offers beautiful descriptions of way-too-windy Mure woven into the sad resolution of Fintan and Colton. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In the season for peace and good cheer, will Flora find the nerve to reveal the truth to her nearest and dearest? Will her erstwhile co-parent Joel think she's the bearer of glad tidingsâ??or is this Christmas going to be as bleak as the Highlands in midwinter? Meanwhile Saif, a doctor and refugee from war-torn Syria is trying to enjoy his first western Christmas with his sons on this remote island where he's been granted asylum. His wife, however, is still missing, and her absence hangs over what should be a joyful celebration. Can the family possibly find comfort and joy without her?
