Seemed a little redundant in places this time but didn't affect how much I enjoyed Elfrida's and Oscar's lovely story. Elfrida feels she has no choice but to look after the grief-stricken man and when he asks her to accompany him to the house he half-owns in Scotland, she ultimately says yes.Fans of the novel like the way Pilcher shows all the possible relationships that you can have in a small village.

Plus I didn't think that the main character would sleep with someone 2 weeks after the death of his wife. This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one. In fact, that's the whole thrust of the book - that these people are thrown together in a place and time that's out of their everyday world. It occurs to me that the appeal of a Pilcher book is that it's about solving practical and emotional problems.This year, an Oscar, an organist, is somewhat older than his wife and the Blundells live in Gloria's family house.

In this quiet novel, five individuals, each dealing with their own painful personal tragedy, are unexpectedly brought together during the Christmas season in the Scottish countryside—though they've decided not to celebrate the holiday; it's too painful this year.Not a lot really happens and there is no doubt that everyone will end up exactly where they want to be however unlikely that is.
