About this listen

Includes mouth-watering recipes! Curl up with Rosie, her friends and her family as they prepare for a very special Christmas...

Rosie Hopkins is looking forward to Christmas in the little Derbyshire village of Lipton, buried under a thick blanket of snow. Her sweetshop is festooned with striped candy canes, large tempting piles of Turkish Delight, crinkling selection boxes and happy, sticky children. She's going to be spending it with her boyfriend, Stephen, and her family, flying in from Australia. She can't wait. But when a tragedy strikes at the heart of their little community, all of Rosie's plans for the future seem to be blown apart. Can she build a life in Lipton? And is what's best for the sweetshop also what's best for Rosie?

Treat yourself and your sweet-toothed friends to Jenny Colgan's heart-warming new novel. The irresistibly delicious recipes are guaranteed to get you into the festive spirit and will warm up your Christmas celebrations.

Deliciously indulgent

Like a guilty pleasure, Jenny Colgan's books are best approached in the same way one should approach a big box of chocolates - scoffed in secret all in one go. So lovely to revisit Rosie et company, and the Christmas setting just makes it even more delicious. Snuggle up, get the fire crackling and break out the Christmas candles. Loved it.

Disappointing

I was hoping this second book would've been better than the first, as it's a sweet shop set in England at Christmas time. Should be wholesome & sweet, right? I found all the PC references a bit tiresome. Can't we just have a nice story without getting political? I found the fact that the vicar trying really hard not to mention God in the Christmas church service (so as to make it more 'inclusive') very disturbing & really sad. Is nothing sacred (literally)?

The narration was very good- apart from the attempts at an Australian accent, which I found very hard to bear (being Australian myself). I wouldn't listen to another Rosie Hopkins book.
