ABOUT THIS BOOK For once, Kate Peters would like a happy, family Christmas; the kind of Christmas seen in the movies. She wants harmony and happiness, smiling, glowing faces, tables groaning with food, carol singing around the tree. She wants love, kindness, and goodwill to all men, especially in her own house. What she doesn’t want is drama. Absolutely no drama, whatsoever. But what she gets is three stroppy children, two equally stroppy grandmothers, a husband who can’t manage to change a lightbulb, and Pepe the poodle. It’s no wonder she feels unappreciated, overworked, and ignored. At the end of her tinsel-coated tether, and with the only Christmas spirit being in the form of a bottle of raspberry gin, Kate decides to leave them to it, and see how they manage without her. A quiet little hotel somewhere near the sea, where she can pretend Christmas doesn’t exist, is just the thing she needs. Isn’t it? MY REVIEW A TYPICAL FAMILY CHRISTMAS by Liz Davies is an entertaining story of family life, squabbles and all, and the reality of what can happen when it all gets a little bit too much. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, lights twinkling on the tree while a festive movie plays on the TV, laughter, good food, and a feeling of love and content. That's all that Kate Peters hopes for this Christmas. But instead, she has both sets of mothers who hate each other and compete over everything, teenage children who are spoiled and selfish, a husband who cannot make the simplest of decisions when it comes to his family and leaves everything for Kate to sort out, and a dog with an incontinence problem. Merry Christmas! So when Kate overhears something very hurtful it is the last straw and she walks out. Maybe leaving them to look after themselves this Christmas will make them appreciate her a little bit more. Warm and engaging throughout, A TYPICAL FAMILY CHRISTMAS by Liz Davies is the reality check of family life at Christmas that will entertain you and make you laugh from start to finish. But there is also a more sensitive and serious side to this story showing the pressure that families put themselves under to make everything as perfect as possible all the time and how, in the daily to and fro of life, parents can often forget about taking care of themselves and their relationship with each other. A TYPICAL FAMILY CHRISTMAS by Liz Davies is a lovely story and I look forward to reading more from this author. AUTHOR BIO Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love. She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat - she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days. She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it.
