“Pure festive joy; fun, charming, cheery and a very delicious romance, everything you would want from a Christmas book is right here.” —Chicks, Rogues and Scandals All I want for Christmas is you . . . or you? Eve Halligan is back in her hometown for Christmas after a whirlwind few years touring with her band, the Molotovs. A lot has changed since she left, but two things have stayed the same. One: Eve is head-over-heels in love with Lucien Malikov, the Molotovs’ bad boy lead singer. Two: Lucien is completely indifferent to her. Still, Eve dreams that this could be the Christmas where she convinces Lucien that they’re made for each other. But when childhood friend and local caterer Theo Wright comes back into her life bringing with him festive cupcake and sausage roll conundrums, Eve begins to question whether her Christmas dreams have been wasted on the wrong man . . . “Full of sparkling snow and cozy baking sessions, this is a treat of a read for Christmas this year . . . festive reading like a huge hug.” —Books, Life and Everything “Very addictive reading . . . a fun and festive tale told with warmth and humor . . . a fabulous read.” —gingerbookgeek “I just love this book. It’s not sugary sweet with some humor and of course the much longed for happy ending. 5 stars.” —B for Bookreview

But Daniel is an aspiring doctor and son of a wealthy manufacturer, while Maddie is a potter’s daughter from a poverty-stricken background. Even a friendship between the two could be frowned upon, let alone anything more . . . But Maddie and Daniel want more, and as they grow closer, gossip and prejudice look set to spoil their blossoming romance.

The Artist's Garden

The secret spaces that inspired great art

By: Jackie Bennett

The Artist’s Garden offers an intriguing study into 20 gardens that have inspired and been home to some of the greatest painters of history. The most alluring image of an artist at work is surely one where he or she has come out of their studio, set up their easel on the garden path, pulled on a hat to shade their eyes from the sun and taken their brush and palette in hand. This sumptuously illustrated and fascinating book delves into the stories behind the gardens which inspired some of the most beautiful and important works of art. These gardens not only supplied the inspiration for creative works but also illuminate the professional motivation and private life of the artists themselves – from Cezanne’s house in the south of France to Childe Hassam at Celia Thaxter’s garden off the coast off Maine. Flowers and gardens have often been the first choice for artists looking for a subject. A garden close to the artist’s studio is not only convenient for daily material and ideas, but also has the advantage of changing through the seasons and over time. Claude Monet’s Giverny was the catalyst for hundreds of great paintings (by Monet and other artists), each one different from the one before. Sometimes a whole village becomes the focus for a colony of artists as at Gerberoy in Picardy and Skagen on the northernmost tip of Denmark. This book is about the real homes and gardens that inspired these great artists – gardens that can still be visited today. The relationship between artist and garden is a complex one. A few artists, including Pierre Bonnard and his neighbour Monet were keen gardeners, as much in love with their plants as their work, while for others like Sorolla in Madrid, his courtyard home was both a sanctuary and a source of ideas. This book is as unmissable for art lovers as it is for anyone who knows the joy of time spent in gardens, offering an intriguing insight into the lives of these great painters and the gardens which inspired them to their creative heights.
