'The ultimate in feelgood fiction reads, it will fill your heart with Christmas spirit.' Milly Johnson, author of Woman in the Middle

This Christmas will be the most special of them all...

Elderly widow Sabine knows this will be her last Christmas in her beloved home, Mitras Castle. Determined to make it just like the ones she remembers from her childhood, she employs Dido Jones of Heavenly Houseparties to help with the big day.

Dido is enchanted by the castle as soon as she steps through the imposing front door. And as Christmas day approaches, her feeling of connection to the old house runs deeper than she first thought.

But when the snow begins to fall and Sabine's family arrive at the house - including Dido's teenage crush Xan - tensions rise around the castle's future and long-buried mysteries begin to unravel...

As past secrets come to light, can this still be a magical Christmas to remember?

Ratings and reviews

Wonderful Christmas book with family intrigue. Sabine owns Mitras Castle but is dying and wants to make sure the castle is passed on to the right person. She has a few 'interesting' relatives, but no children or grandchildren to pass it on to. So she invites the few relatives left to the castle, along with a few friends, for Christmas where she will finally make up her mind who to leave it to, or to bequeath it to the National Trust. Dropped in the middle of the family drama are Dido and Henry, owners of Heavenly House Parties, who are employed over the Christmas period to cook and generally look after everyone in their 'house party' host roles. But unbeknownst to Dido, Sabine has employed her for a reason, not necesssarily the nicest one, but that does (very!) slowly change, with a little help from Sabine's best friend, ex-vicar Nancy, who helps her come to terms with everything. A really lovely book, full of family secrets, forgiveness, lovely food, snow, great characters, romance, a cute dog - and just a wonderful Christmas feeling. I do love a Trisha Ashley book!
