ABOUT THIS BOOK Christmas is coming but it doesn’t feel that way for Esme Greenwood. Recently jilted by her cheating fiancee Warren,she’s had enough of London life and escapes to Thimble Cottage in the Peak District, home of her beloved grandmother Matilda. While Esme mourns for the wedding she’ll never have, Matilda puts her granddaughter back together again with comforting words and generous helpings of fruitcake and together, they plan the trip of a lifetime, to Lapland to see the northern lights, somewhere Matilda has always dreamt of going. But tragedy strikes and when Matilda dies, Esme screws up the courage to go on the trip on her own to honour her beloved grandmother’s wishes. At the airport she meets a motley crew of characters including Zach, a handsome, brooding, out-of- work actor and together they set off for an adventure. Beneath the indigo skies of Lapland, Esme and Zach grow closer. But when Esme is bombarded by messages from Warren promising he’s changed and she discovers that Zach is hiding something very significant - will her head be turned? And when a trip to the northern lights reveals the full extent of Zach’s own secret past, is there any hope that Esme will get the happy ending that her grandmother wished for her? MY REVIEW THE CHRISTMAS WISH by Tilly Tennant is an emotional journey about self-worth, relationships and finding your path, all taking place in a stunning Christmas setting. Esme Greenwood has lost her relationship with her parents and her friends, all in her effort to keep her fiancé Warren content and happy, but when she discovers something awful, Esme escapes to her grandmother's house in the countryside for some rest and relaxation. When tragedy strikes, Tilly finds herself on a solo trip to Lapland where she makes new friends and begins to really look at her life and what she wants from love and the future, but as Warren pulls out all of the stops to lure her back to him, will she be strong enough to make herself heard? And what about the feelings she gets around her new friend Zach, who seems to be hiding secrets of his own? Compelling, gripping, and at times, so frustrating, THE CHRISTMAS WISH by Tilly Tennant kept my eyes glued to the page from beginning to end. The characters are engaging and you will care about them so much, and even though there were many times where I wanted to scream at Esme to open her eyes, you will feel invested in their story. The setting is breathtaking and is a character in its own right, and I felt like a child again when reading about Santa's village. THE CHRISTMAS WISH by Tilly Tennant is a wonderful tale and is definitely worth reading this Winter. AUTHOR BIO Tilly Tennant was born in Dorset, the oldest of four children, but now lives in Staffordshire with a family of her own. After years of dismal and disastrous jobs, including paper plate stacking, shop girl, newspaper promotions and waitressing (she never could carry a bowl of soup without spilling a bit), she decided to indulge her passion for the written word by embarking on a degree in English and creative writing, graduating in 2009 with first class honours. She wrote her first novel in 2007 during her first summer break at university and has not stopped writing since. She also works as a freelance fiction editor, and considers herself very lucky that this enables her to read many wonderful books before the rest of the world gets them.
