A Season In The Snow by Isla Gordon published by Sphere Books
Alice Bright loves her life as a cartoonist. She has a job she adores, a devoted family, and friends she'd lay down her life for.
So when tragedy strikes, bringing
with it Bear - a rapidly-growing Bernese Mountain puppy in need of a home - it
turns Alice's whole world upside down. She retreats inside her flat, and inside
herself, with only her new companion for company.
But one-bedroom London flats aren't
made for mountain dogs, and so Alice lets Bear push her out of her comfort zone
to his homeland: the mountains of Switzerland. Could a change of scene in snowy
serenity be just the thing to help Alice balance out life again?
This was the last festive read I had on my
review list, and boy did I inadvertently leave the best till last!! It’s not
really a Christmas book, although the big day does feature, but it’s a winter
season book, so if you find yourself reading this in January or February, it
won’t feel strange!
From the first moment that Bear was introduced into the story,
I completely and utterly fell head over heels in love with the bundle of fur!
This book will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions…it is so
brilliantly written and you find yourself grieving with Alice inside her flat
with Bear at her feet, but then you are cheering her on when she makes a
decision that will change her life.
What I particularly loved about this book is that it didn’t have
the cliched “will they-won’t they?” formula that a lot of romantic novels
follow, and I found that so refreshing.
My only disappointment? That this book had to end, I really
want Alice, Bear and Marco to be in my life forever more…this is one of my favourite
reads of 2020
