A Casterglass Christmas by Kate HewittMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first instalment in a new series.
Althea Penryn moved away from the family's ramshackle castle in Cumbria when she went to college, she married young and went to live in Surrey with her solicitor husband and their three children. But now, after twenty-one years of marriage her husband has announced that he is spending Christmas skiing in Switzerland with one of Althea's so-called friends and not with his family. Althea has overlooked multiple infidelities during their marriage but this is a step too far and they have a screaming row and she takes the children to stay with her eccentric parents and youngest sister.
When Althea arrives things are even worse than usual, the roof needs replacing at a cost of at least £200,000 and her seventy-two year old father is talking about selling the castle, where the Penryns have lived for over 800 years.
Can Althea come up with a plan to save the castle, reconcile with her sister, placate her irate teenager, and decide about her marriage?
This is classic Kate Hewitt, cosy, sweet, just like a warm mug of hot chocolate. My only gripe is that this is only the first book in the series, I need the second book STAT.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher Tule in return for an honest review.
