Description
COMING SOON AS THE HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIE NANTUCKET NOEL
A Nantucket shopkeeper discovers that Christmas is the perfect occasion to make unexpected friendships . . . to warm the coldest of hearts—and maybe even find love.
Christina Antonioni is preparing for the holidays at her Nantucket toy shop, unpacking last-minute shipments and decorating for her loyal Christmas shoppers. But when her Scrooge of a landlord, Oscar Bittlesman, raises her rent, it seems nearly impossible for Christina to continue business on the wharf.
Even so, Christina hopes there is a warm heart underneath Oscar’s steely exterior. When she bonds with Wink, his sweet, young granddaughter who frequents the shop, it becomes clear that perhaps he isn’t so cold after all. And with the help of Wink’s uncle, who happens to be a charming and very handsome bachelor, this may be the best Christmas any of them could have ever imagined. Nancy Thayer’s enchanting Nantucket setting provides the perfect backdrop for this holiday love story.
Reviews
A Perfect Christmas Read
4By kcoatneyLET IT SNOW by Nancy Thayer was the first book of hers I've read and I loved it from the very first line. Her writing is simple and heartwarming. The perfect Christmas read. The story opens on Nantucket Island in December and the storekeeper, Christina Antonioni meets up with a nine-year-old girl, Wink Bittlesman, who is shoplifting in her store. Instead of reporting it, she has Wink work in her shop to earn what she stole. Turns out Wink is the daughter of one of the wealthiest women in town. When Christina meets Wink's uncle Andy Bittlesman, she feels an immediate attraction to him, but there's a hitch to their budding romance. Andy's father, Oscar, is Christina's landlord and he's raised the rent so high that Christina and the other shop owners will go out of business. Mimi, Jacob and Harriet, the other shop owners, along with a cast of islanders (native to Nantucket) give the reader a real feel for living on Nantucket Island. As much as I enjoyed the book, I didn't feel like Oscar had any redeeming qualities, but I loved the book anyway and it has a sweet, perfect ending for a Christmas romance.
