Description
A heartwarming meet-cute short story from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Christmas Bookshop.
A Christmas mission…
Mirren’s beloved great-aunt Violet is seriously ill. Her one Christmas wish is to be reunited with a long-lost hand-illustrated book from her childhood, a challenge Mirren gladly accepts to give Violet some much-needed festive cheer.
An enchanting journey…
With no sign of the cherished volume online, Mirren falls into the fascinating world of rare books. From London to snowy Hay-on-Wye and Edinburgh’s cobbled streets, she chases leads from bookshop to bookshop—and bumps into mysterious, charming Theo, who, unbeknownst to her, is searching for the same book for reasons of his own…
The start of a new chapter?
As the two join forces to track the book down before time runs out for Violet, will Mirren find her Christmas miracle—and maybe even a kiss under the mistletoe… ?
For fans of Josie Silver, Jill Mansell and the Queen of Christmas herself, a snow-swept love story to warm even the coldest winter’s day.
Advance Praise
There’s no author better equipped to ease you into the most wonderful time of the year than the incomparable Jenny Colgan. As one of the UK’s most beloved and bestselling rom-com authors, Colgan has a unique ability to craft stories that feel like a warm hug on a wintry day—and from the very first page of this new short story, she envelops you in the magic of the Christmas season.
As you join our protagonist Mirren on her whimsical quest to track down a cherished childhood book, you’ll be taken on a magical Christmas journey across the UK, from London to Edinburgh to a centuries-old pub in the book town of Hay-on-Wye.
Colgan’s gift for creating characters that feel like old friends, coupled with her talent for weaving tales that captivate the soul, make “The Christmas Book Hunt” an absolute delight. I invite you to dive in and let Colgan’s wonderful writing work its seasonal magic.
