The Country Village Christmas Show by Cathy Lake published by Cathy Lake
Clare is at a crossroads in her life, with the ink drying on
her divorce papers, her son at uni and the family home sold, she must now start
all over again.
Moving back into her childhood home in the village that she grew
up in, Clare faces new challenges.
When herself and her son Kyle chance upon the idea of running
a Christmas show in the village to bring the community together, it feels like
she has purpose again, but can she manage to pull it off?
I snuggled down to read this book with a large mug of hot
chocolate, the dog on my lap, and rain lashing down outside and for a few hours I lost sight of the doom
and gloom going on in the world – COVID hasn’t reached Little Bramble yet! I did
enjoy the book, the characters were believable and I got a taste of the village
community which I yearn for, after living all my life in the Big Smoke!
However, saying that I was a little disappointed in the fact
that the first mention of the show was made almost half way through the book,
so up until that point it really felt like we were treading water. It also felt
quite rushed at the end, lots of things happened in the last 10% of the book
which could have been sprinkled around the story earlier on.
