My Review
Ms Banks's
stories take a tight grip of your heart and soul and never let go.
I was drawn
into the story straight away and loved
how the story of Stephen and Alice continued to unfold and the ending was just
perfect. I felt an emotional connection to both of them. Christmas Carols is a
sweet Victorian romance that feels your heart with warmth. The perfect read for
me at the right moment – I was in need of something to uplift my spirits and it
did. The writing is so vivid and
beautiful that Daisy Banks has gained a new fan! The author is a
master wordsmith.
The love story between the blind organist and
the young widow who has to obey the strict and absurd rules of the Victorian
era is perfect, so evocative and wonderful! And Blue, Stephen’s dog companion
is a perfect secondary character. My only complaints are that the story was too
short and that all they give Blue in the story is water. If you want a quick and easy read with
wonderful chemistry between the main protagonists, Christmas Carols is the one.
