'Tis the season for finding love... and the perfect bookWith just
two weeks until Christmas, everything in Clove Lore should be
perfect. But the latest holidaymaker to the Borrow a Bookshop is
feeling far from festive... Icelandic ex-bookseller Magnus
Sturluson might be surrounded by love stories in the Bookshop, but
he's nursing a sadness that not even fiction can fix. When
Alexandra Robinson finds herself stranded in Clove Lore, she finds
a safe place to hide from heartbreak. After all, all that's waiting
for her at home is a cheater boyfriend and the memories of her
parents. As Alex finds herself embraced by the quirky village
community, she finds her tough exterior thawing - and as she grows
closer to Magnus, she finds an equally soft heart under his gruff
shell. It seems that Clove Lore is working its magic once again -
until a great flood on Christmas Eve brings devastation in its
wake. It's up to Magnus and Alex to batten down the hatches and
help bring the village back together again, while also introducing
the locals to the Icelandic tradition of the jolabokaflod - Yule
book flood - where families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to
exchange books and read together. But can Magnus and Alex truly
rescue the ruins of the village, and salvage their Christmas
spirit? Or is there another complication lurking even closer than
they thought? A totally uplifting read that will lighten the winter
gloom, for fans of Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley. Booklovers will
adore this seasonal treat! Readers are loving Christmas at the
