Takes a long time to get everyone's character and story established, but admittedly worth it; a light cozy winter listen for sure. A slow-paced but cute story, generally cheerful and friendly, learning about each character from their perspective and how they all come together in both expected and unexpected ways.

What a delight! Found family story with characters of different generations, set  mostly in Scotland. I lived every minute of the narration.

An all time favorite read many times in December and or January. It's got amazing character development and gorgeous descriptive writing making for a very atmospheric read. It's definitely cozy and ambling (aka. slow paced) and best enjoyed with hot tea or your favorite glass of wine by the fire.
