Holly brown lives in Lancashire .She lost her husband in terrible conditions height years ago near Christmas and she still doesn’t want to celebrate Christmas . Her grandmother has just died and left her all her diaries to read . Holly is a chef in the summer : she usually cooks for families parties, whereas in winter she is a house sitter and pet sitter . Holly was on the way to celebrate, against her will, Christmas with her best friend Laura,a when her boss, Ellen, phoned and asked her to go to an emergency pet sitting .. She quite went there reluctantly as there is a horse to take care and she doesn’t know how to take care of a horse. The owner of the house Jude Martland has escaped his house to escape the usual Christmas period with his family . Last year; he was on the way to be married and his fiancĂ© just went away with his brother. Holly arrived and quickly met the family : Noel , Tilda, Jess but also Becca and other people close to this family .But Jude is not happy with Holly at his home with her inexperience of horses ..The first phoning exchanges are awful . Finally under unexpected circumstances; the family will be reunified in Old Place and Holly will have to cook for all of them. How the all of them will spend those twelve days together? Will Holly finally like to cook for this huge family ? Will the tensions in the family will ease ? What will Holly discover in her grandmother diary ? My favorite character is Holly : he is very kind to those who are nice with her but also can have a strong character to those who are not nice to her . She works really hard and she is devoted to both her jobs: cooking and pet sitting . Coco is the strangest character here . She was supposed to be engaged to Jude’s brother and things has changed that she doesn’t want to admit . She is most of the time hysterical. Jess is a young teenager who truly misses her parents and tries to find love where she can; she will have a great admiration for Holly Noel and Tilda are also really nice but not able to take care of themselves . It’s typically a Trisha Ashley book. With lots of nature, lots of cooking and recipes .I always love the recipes in trisha ashley books . The book is easy to read and I found it difficult to put it down . I’ve loved the fact that it was in a family situation and how they decide to prepare Christmas despite the difficult circumstances . As usual we find some jealousy and gossiping as it is in a small place ..I really enjoyed the book til the end ;) Happy ending as usual too . Great Christmas novel: good job Trisha
