A review by jenrcratsenberg
The Christmas Chronicles by Nigel Slater

5.0

I particularly liked this book! A lot. Ok, so 2018 or 2019 I want to say a Charlie McCormick or maybe Ben Pentreath, or possibly neither... I can’t keep track of these things I guess, but my mind seems to believe one of them?! Moving forward... they gave a little social media shout out about this book and I was intrigued, so intrigued! But gravely mistaken, to believe it was solely a cookbook (another!? The horror!!) so I ignored any further hints from the heavens that I needed to buy this book. Anyways, I was gifted this book, sort of recently, and *swoon*, I am in love!! Madly. Deeply. Everything I love about winter (including Nov), and more. I wish I would have read this prior to Christmas but it will be one I read each year. I knew it was love when he mentioned one of my all time favorite candles (small detail I know, but I know of no one personally who burns)!! Certainly no coincidence, I was meant to love this book from the first sentence. The writing is beautiful. Oh how it instantly pulls you right into another world. This is a favorite for sure!!!
