Review: A really "feel good" book.

I have never read a book by Carole Matthews that I have not enjoyed, and With Love at Christmas is no exception.  Carole's characters are so down to earth and really just every day normal people.  This is a story that is so easy to relate to - the Joyce family could be any family.  There is a lot of humour and I found myself often giggling out loud - especialy the Christmas pudding part.  There is a touch of sadness but there is also much love to go round from Juliet Joyce, a character who is so caring and considerate to those around her, and who is desperate to make Christmas extra special for everyone.  I related to her very well as she reminds me of a number of big hearted people I know.  As for her young adult kids - I'm sure we all know a lot of kids exactly like that! Well done Carole.  I cannot wait for your next book.
