Christmas at the Island Hotel (Mure)

Product Information

A lovely, warm-hearted Christmas tale about a family and extended family on the tiny island of Mure. And yet… as happens with all the Jenny Colgan books I’ve read, around the half-way mark I realised I was interested in the storylines, and intrigued to know what would happen. This book piqued my interest because I was in immediate need of a happy read, (and I mean now), that could lift me from my reality, (pandemic cabin fever), and take me anywhere else to lift my mood. It did start off really slow and I was overwhelmed by the overload of characters and trying to keep them all straight, but each of their individual stories was heartwarming. New mother Flora MacKenzie and her brother Fintan are working themselves half to death to get it ready in time for Christmas.

Not realizing this was book 4 in a series it took a bit to sort out who was who and their back story.

Fintan (with help from his sister Flora) I’d almost ready to open the island’s rambling and disused hotel, the Rock. having not read the previous books I was a little concerned at first, but I was not confused or lost at any time during the story. For me, there wasn't the character attachment or emotional investment in the outcome which could have potentially happened if I had read the previous books.

You can imagine what must be done to open a hotel and restaurant several months before Christmas, no?

I’ve read several - a friend remarked that I have quite a collection given that I’m not a huge fan of her writing. Yes, of course, there is a little romance in here, but it is not the ‘syrupy sweet’ stuff I have read in other books. On the tiny, beautiful, and remote island of Mure, halfway between Scotland and Norway, a new hotel opening is a big event. The Rock - the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the island - was Colton's passion project before he died. wife and his relationship with Lorna, and some other funny and not-so-funny antics around the island.
