A warm winter read

In this lovely Christmas story we meet the three very different half-sisters Maggie, Simone and Star. They have not seen each other much since their teens and now as their father, Augustus Balthazar North, passed away they have to arrange for his funeral together and then there is the reading of his will.

The little village of Rowan Thorp is the place of it all happening. Eldest sister Maggie has lived there most of her life. Her mother moved to the village for her daughter to be closer to her father but still she only saw him during the six weeks of summer together with Simone and Star when they stayed at his place. His place being the antique shop which is in the possession of the North family for ages already.

His will says that the three sisters have to arrange for the winter solstice celebration to come back alive again in Rowan Thorp. As their father died beginning of December they only have a short time to arrange this all.

They have to work together and also get the community involved. By doing so they obviously find their connection again and we learn about the sister’s individual story.

The lovely epilogue a couple of years later gives the story a nice ending. For sure a warm and cosy winter read!
