A review by clotimms
Last Christmas by Greg Wise, Emma Thompson

2.0

A difficult collection to review. It left me feeling a bit glum instead of festive. That's not to say these were all depressing stories of miserable or difficult Christmases, but it veered more to the bleak to the joyous. I did appreciate reading stories of those who have suffered difficult times through homelessness, being a refugee etc, but I was hoping for more amusing stories along the way too. Maybe 2020 was the wrong year to read this kind of collection! Rather than the stories be alphabetical I would have preferred an order that balanced the mood of the essays a bit more.
