The Christmas Market by Linda McEvoy #Review

 

Today we have a debut fiction author, Linda McEvoy whose novel The Christmas Market was publlished by Bedford Square Publishers on 26th September. 

 
Jas saw the light when her ex dumped her treasured vintage fabric all over the street. She’s back in her home town with a plan to launch her hat-making business at the Christmas market in the beautiful Georgian square.

But the Ballyclane she returns to is not the one she left nine years ago. Her mother has a new man and Jas’s old room is a walk-in wardrobe now. Her beloved gran has died and the house Jas hoped to work from is a bonanza for property developers instead.

And no one is organising the Christmas market! There’s just enough time to manage that and keep her business plan on track. She certainly doesn’t have time for Niall, the smoky-eyed, posh boy builder, hell-bent on breaking her heart.

With a best friend hiding a secret, a childhood nemesis determined to take her down, and a beautiful French angel enchanting everybody, Jas struggles to get a grip on what’s real.

Still, she might find everything she needs at the market this Christmas if she can let herself truly believe…


 My Thoughts

This is a really charmimg, festive read. Jas has returned home following a bad break-up and is trying to reconnect with her friends, family and wider community. She has great plans for her own business but also gets pulled into organizing the annual Christmas Market. From there, you know that all festive touches will be on view and so they are.

    Jas soon realises that life has moved on for everyone since she left nine years ago and slotting straight back into her old life is not as straightforward as she hoped. Her beloved grandmother has died and Jas realises what an influence she was on her life and how many traits she has inherited from her. Romance is brewing from the start but Jas struggles to see all of Niall's qualities, too busy making presumptions about his lifestyle. The community adds humour and warmth to the story which brings together a real feeling of home and being included.
