pickI have a soft spot for small town Southern stories and this story scratched that itch in such a lovey holiday way. There were a number of storylines going on, which made it somewhat hard to keep track, but I just went along with it and enjoyed the ride the audiobook took me on. It‘s also in the middle of a series and I‘m excited to go back and read from the beginning. A very good listen! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #wintergames #SantasBookshELVES
pickSetting is 1934. Include attitudes of time. Snogging your boss isn't considered bad. Implied Lesbian couple are raising a child together. No one bats an eye, even when child's unscrupulous biological father attempts to take her away. Doubtful in '34. Not sure to applaud author making it the non issue it should be. Sneaking in positive message. Would have been a much more powerful story to include fight for equality & love is love.
In case you were wondering. Colder in Ok than in Shetland. Perfect day to hang out by the fire w/ Darling Dahlias Garden Club. Love how author includes Liz's Garden Column and recipes. Not quite a standalone. I've read 1- 4 of this series so I knew characters but I was missing bits of the story. I need to catch up. Couple things I'm not sure about in this book will do a review later today. 🌬 #tobecontinued #holidayreads #12daysofbookmas
Wow! The things you learn about life in 1934 while reading:
"The flapper era was over, thank God, and women were allowed to have breasts again. She had even read that one company was proposing to make bras in different cups sizes---so they would fit better.....a doctor had patented a tampon with a cardboard applicator, but how long before you could buy one was anybody's guess." ?
Jazzing up my Poinsettias for New Year's by throwing confetti over them. As a Garden Club Member I love reading Darlin Dahlias Garden Club mysteries. Excited for Christmas Story. 🎉🎉🎉
