If a cosy Christmas read is what you are looking for, then look no further than The Christmas Cottage by Sarah Morgan! The audiobook narrator, Henrietta Meire, was very pleasant to listen to and did a great job of voicing the various characters of different ages.
Oh my goodness, I felt so sorry for Imogen. She’s a total workaholic and has pretty much no life outside of work. She’s exceptionally good at her job as events planner and highly respected by clients and colleagues alike. Embarrassed to tell the truth about her lonely life, she makes up all kinds of things to tell her colleagues and gets herself into some awkward situations as a result. There’s one particular character who is just so horrible to Imogen and she didn’t deserve it at all. I wanted to swoop into the book and give Imogen a big cuddle.
Sarah Morgan often writes her novels from the points of view of several characters, often from different generations. This book was no exception. Although Imogen is definitely the main focus, there are also chapters from the perspective of Dorothy, one of Imogen’s clients and Sarah, Dorothy’s daughter. When Dorothy realises that Imogen will be alone for Christmas, she invites her to stay in a holiday cottage on her estate in the Cotswolds much to the disapproval of her daughter. There are secrets to be uncovered and Imogen realises that what she thinks she knows about her earlier life isn’t the full truth.
I don’t want to say much about the plot of course but this is a really heart-warming read about finding your place in life, the importance of family and naturally there’s a pleasing romantic element too. The Christmas Cottage is a feel-good story which will leave you feeling warm inside.
