feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author Jenny Colgan. Carmen
is at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the filming site of a cheesy Christmas movie she's
been ousted from her sister's house and the love of her life has just flown thousands of miles
away. It's threatening to be a very unjolly Christmas indeed! But when the elderly owner of
the shop comes to Carmen with a Christmas wish that threatens to never come true Carmen knows
she must buckle down to get the funds to save not only his trip but the shop itself. While
fending off a shady tatt-selling businessman Carmen discovers wonders to the shop she could
have never imagined and opens a labyrinth of bookish backrooms for the customers to get lost
in. With her deadline looming it might take more than a fresh coat of paint to solve Carmen's
problems. But with the help of their neighbours her nieces and nephew and a very
distractingly cute male nanny Carmen might just pull her greatest magic trick yet...
