Let It Snow by Sue Moorcroft
4.0
After enjoying Sue Moorcroft’s latest Christmas story I decided to listen to some of her previous books and this felt like the perfect book to end my 20 Books For Christmas journey on.
When Lily’s world is rocked by a family revelation she decides to hunt down the family she never knew she had. This causes her to up roots and set them down in Middledip where she works for her half brother, without telling him who she really is. Skip on a couple of years and no one has a clue about Lily’s hidden identity and she intends to keep it that way, much to the annoyance of her sister Zinnia.
I found the family relationships fascinating in this book and loved how Sue Moorcroft explored every avenue. We had the jokey older brothers, arguing sisters and parents at their wits end, as well as single mothers and same sex relationships. Family were very much at the heart of this story and showed how complicated but lovely families can be.
We also had the quiet and serious but equally handsome Isaac to keep Lily on her toes and lets not forget Doggo! It’s safe to say that there was plenty of action and drama in this story which kept me interested as a reader. I loved the cosy Christmas traditions and the trip to Switzerland was beautifully described. I could imagine myself there amongst the markets listening to the Middledip choir singing away.
A brilliant story to end the festive season on!
