Home for Christmas A Yorktide Maine Novel by Holly Chamberlin

Home for Christmas A Yorktide Maine Novel is an enchanting book written by Holly Chamberlin and published by Kensington Books.
It's a story about errors and forgiving, new identity passing through a story maybe of empty nest and a divorce, and "finding" a home for Christmas for someone else, that after all, it's one of the profound meaning of this feast.

One of the strongest thematic of the book is love: to be loved and being in grade to recognize real love.

Nell decides to return to Yorktide, Maine after his divorce with Joel. It was a sufferance although honestly she hasn't never loved him so much, but you know: two daughters, an existence spent together...

Joel was picked up by Nell's family. Her biggest love was Eric but her family ddn't think that the boy was a good choice for their daughter. But Eric with the time became a successful writer and most of his novels became great Hollywood's movies.

She has two daughters, Nell, Felicity and Molly, both big enough for starting to be independent and for leaving the home soon or late.

Nell has a friend in Jill a 70s adorable lady and confident.

Molly lives a long story with Mick the son of a farmer, but she thinks she would want to break up considering she wants to go to Boston for discovering life much more.

At the same time Eric, old Nell's flame afford to Yorktide in a moment of the year considered by everyone a real failure because there are just few people, it's winter-time, for the promotion of his latest book and he is there for staying for some weeks.

Nell during her existence with Joel was a good wife. She abandoned the church because Joel didn't love she enjoyed to go to the church; she abandoned to write poetry and she loved to write poetry.
She found one night in her attic the old journals of poems she wrote with an old biography about William Blake.

Great analysis of all characters, problematic of family lived very well, speaking a lot, talking a lot, thinking a lot and sorting out all together the problems. What I loved the most was this "being there for helping" for all the little or big problems although the final decision reserved to the single character.

Molly the most adorable, chaotic character of the book,

Enjoy this adorable Christmas Novel.
Highly recommended.

I thank NetGalley and Kensington Books for this eBook.
