The Mother of All Christmases by Milly Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Mother of All Christmases is about a group of three different women brought together by their pregnancies and the start of an Ante Natal group called the Christmas Pudding Club - named because all the women's due dates are around Christmas.
The story follows the lives of the women as some come to terms with a surprise pregnancy, and others fully embrace it. Woven into the story are excerpts from the local newspaper, The Daily Trumpet which are laugh out loud funny!!
I especially warmed to Palma, a young woman who embarks on being a surrogate for a couple who desperately wanted a baby and I was gunning for her to have her fairy tale ending.
The book isn't a schmaltzy, over the top Christmas read, so it can be read at any time of the year, and there is a particular part which will have you reaching for the tissues but which was written in such a sensitive and caring way.
A brilliant story (yet again!) from Milly Johnson
