The Little Village Christmas by Sue Moorcroft
Review:
I was expecting a Christmas story set during the winter holidays, but more than half of the book was set up for the lead-up to December. However, the main Characters’ goal was to open a community café on the weekends before the big event, making this the main plot line.
A story about love, determination, and of course, interior design, which gives an intriguing insight into the career. The book leads with two characters, Alexia and Ben, going back to each other’s points of view. They both met at a wrecking party, organised by Alexia to demolish some parts of the old Angel Pub, which had been abandoned for decades, until Ben’s uncle, Gabe, bought the plot. After employing Alexia to transform the building, Gabe decided to turn the old pub into a café where villagers organise events and socialise. Something that was missing in the village since the town hall closed. Until all of the historic pieces in the building, suddenly vanished. After hearing that someone they knew had stolen all of the furnishings, they had to restart the project, almost failing to do so. All of the funds, the village raised, were stolen and no one knew what to do until Gabe let the mastermind of Alexia take over the whole project.
Although I was expecting a story during December, the story
progresses from September to reaching the deadline just before Christmas. I was
surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, from the unique aspects and themes
following an interior designer, which was a new plot and character design for
me.
I apologise for not publishing this review sooner, December was a busy month for me.
