"Heartbroken after being jilted, Sybil has been saved from despair by her knitting obsession. But after perpetrating the cock-up of the century at work just weeks before Christmas, Sybil decides to make a hasty exit to the picturesque village of Tindledale.
There, Sybil discovers Hettie's House of Haberdashery, an emporium dedicated to the world of knitting and needlecraft. But Hettie, the owner, is struggling to cope and now the shop is due for closure."

A real feel-good book! The perfect read for a grey and rainy day. Too bad that we do not have those beautiful snowy days like in the book (it still does snow from time to time, but the snow doesn't stay white for long here in Berlin).

Thank you so much sedna5213, a huge package arrived today including this book. The book was first thing I took out of it and you should have seen the happiness when I saw it. It's perfect, I love knitting! I think this will be excellent reading for cozy Christmas holidays.

Thank you so so so very much!

Started the book in December 2018, read some of it last Christmas and finally finished today. It really was a feel-good-book, nice story with a predictable ending. However, I loved the surroundings, one of my dreams is to live in a small English village for a while.

I got some books from bookwormess, a few that I knew were coming, and this one as a surprise. I will probably read it after summer, and release before Xmas. Thank you for this lovely book.

*** Edit 12/2020: sending to the winner of day 9 in Xmas Calendar raffle on the Finnish forum.

I don't like knitting (actually I hate it) but I liked this story! Small village in England, Christmas, snow and love - what else do you need?
