Summary

Join us for Christmas in the Cotswolds in this perfect festive escape, from the best-selling Lucy Coleman.

Imogen Tolliman never knew her mother. And when an accident robs Immi of her father too, she goes to live with her grandfather Tollie in his picturesque lock-keeper’s cottage by the Aysbury marina.

Tollie is the star of the Santa Ahoy Special each Christmas - a festive boat ride along the canal that enthralls both children and adults alike. And as Immi grows up, she starts to appreciate the magical community she is lucky enough to live in.

When Immi meets Gray Adams, she instantly realises he’s someone special. And as their relationship gets serious, they start to plan for the Christmas to beat all Christmases.

But as the day approaches, and the romantic snow showers turn into blizzards, their dream of a Christmas to remember looks set to be one they’ll never forget - for all the wrong reasons. Can they salvage the festivities, or will old secrets that are finally uncovered turn Immi’s life upside down forever?

Let Lucy Coleman transport you away to a dreamy Cotswolds Christmas full of snowflakes and secrets, log fires, mistletoe, friends and much-loved traditions. Perfect for all fans of Trisha Ashley, Holly Martin and Sue Moorcroft.

A Christmas Story to remember

This was a wonderful story, which would have been so much more enjoyable if the performance had been shared equally by both Lucy Scott and David Thorpe, and not having David just reading the last chapter. Lucy was good at doing different voices for all the female characters and it sounded like David would have been just as good doing the male characters, and they could have shared the narrative part's by doing alternate chapters.

That said I loved the story and would love to read or listen to any other stories that Lucy Coleman writes about life in the Cotswolds.

Slushy and Romantic 🥰

No real story, just one twist at the end....k just somebody telling their day to day life. Still a lovely book with a happy ending for easy reading 💖

David Thorpe, the Male reader at the end almost ruined the end of the brilliant story, his voice just didn’t sound right
