Looking for the perfect Christmas read? I know I always am, and I may have found it in Alexandra Brown's The Great Christmas Knit-Off (#538). What could be better than Christmas in a quaint English village? Well, a whole lot if you happen to be Sybil. She's had a very hard year between being left at the altar at her very expensive Star Wars themed wedding (NOT her idea!), and for her identical twin sister, Sasha! Plus, something has gone horribly wrong at the housing office where she works in London, and 42,000 pounds seem to have been accidentally deposited in a client's account who promptly went on a lavish spending spree with the money. Could Sybs - possibly? - been responsible for that disaster, too?
A visit to her best friend Cher in remote Tindledale seems in order, but nothing goes right on her trip. Until she arrives in Tindledale shortly before Christmas, where she finds others who have problems even bigger than her own. But Sybil knows that she can help the elderly Hettie save her Haberdashery Shop with her passion for knitting. As the community comes together to help her and Hettie, she begins to mend that enormous hole in her own heart, and she well and truly finds the place she is meant to be.
This is promised to be the first book in a series about the people who live in the tidy village of Tindledale. Yes, there's a promising romance, some drama and suspense, and a lot of humor to keep the reader entertained throughout, and even a bonus knitting pattern at the end for those so inclined!
From what I've learned from this first book, I can't wait to find out more about this beguiling cast of characters! Highly recommended for your Christmas reading pleasure.
