A Christmas Wish at Woolworths by Elaine Everest
5.0
emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

Another fab book in The Woolworths Girls series. This book is set in 1953, 15 years on from the first book when we first met Sarah, Maisie and Freda. As always, Elaine never disappoints when it comes to her characters and their stories and this one is no different. 

Set in the heart of Erith, Woolworths faces closure if the December income fails to increase. With new faces and some ne'er-do-wells, this community of friends and family have a lot on their plate in the run-up to Christmas. 

I love these characters and feel sad that this book has come to an end but I know a reunion is on the cards as there's another installment out in the middle of next year, which I'm already excited for but it could well be the last as the lovely Elaine passed away in August. May she rest in peace.
