One Christmas Eve by Shari Low #Review #PublicationDay

 

Now it is time for another uplifting, festive read by Shari Low. One Christmas Eve is published today on August 29th by Boldwood Books. 

 
Three women, three decades, three Christmas Eve moments that change their lives forever.

On Christmas Eve, 1968, Cathy McLean receives a surprise visit from the lost love of her life and is forced to chose between the one that got away and the one that stayed.

On Christmas Eve, 1993, Cathy’s daughter Helena is overjoyed to hear that her boyfriend is about to propose, until a devastating encounter threatens to bring her heartbreak instead of diamonds.

On Christmas Eve 2023, an shocking discovery rocks Eve Quinn’s world. The only gift Eve wants this year is the truth. But will it take a Christmas miracle to unravel generations of secrets?

Unwrap this festive tale of complicated families, impossible choices, and an unforgettable love that lasts three lifetimes.


 My Thoughts

This story takes place over one day , Christmas Eve and weaves together the lives of three generations: Cathy, her daughter Helena and granddaughter, Eve. They have a complicated dynamic as Cathy has largely been the mother figure to Eve. The reasons for this emerge as the story unfolds. This is a warm and uplifting story with family at its very centre. In fact, family ties are the motivating force behind the plot and tell you so much about the characters.

    The three women are quite different personalities. Set in three different decades, 1968, 1993 and 2023, the plot lines are woven together and some surprising links emerge. Christmas is the backdrop to all three stories and whilst it can be described as festive, it is by no means the dominant factor. This makes it a good choice as an early Christmas read. 

In short: a warm, uplifting story of family with a touch of romance.
