Read

After unexpectedly inheriting a house in the village where she was born, Bethan just wants to clear it out, sell up, and escape back to London before Christmas. As if being there wasn't bad enough already, the house over the road has some truly obnoxious Christmas lights.

Everyone in the village loves Mali's community-spirited Christmas lights - everyone, that is, except for her rude - and annoyingly beautiful - new neighbour. And with the year she's had, Mali doesn't have any patience left for entitled interlopers.

As Christmas approaches, can Bethan and Mali get past their festive feud and see the light?

This novella has one chapter for each day from December 1-25 - it can be read all at once or one day at a time, advent calendar-style.

All Is Bright
by Llinos Cathryn Thomas

Another beautiful romance novella from Llinos Cathryn Thomas.

The North Wales setting. Bethan's return to her childhood village. Revisiting her feelings about growing up, differences, acceptance are all treated with care and love.

Mali's approach and experiences reflecting back on Bethan's - gently holding up a mirror to her life and what she really wants.

A lovely Christmas read.
