Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Anne Perryâs âvastly entertainingâ (The Star-Ledger) holiday novels are âas delicious as mince pie and plum puddingâ (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). A Christmas Hope is just as delectableâthe gripping story of an unforgettable battle between goodness and evil in Victorian Londonâand a lonely womanâs search for meaning in her life.
Although she lacks for nothing, Claudine Burroughs dreads the holiday season for forcing her to face how empty her life has become. She no longer expects closeness with her coldly ambitious husband, and she has nothing in common with their circle of wealthy, status-minded friends. The only time she is remotely happy is when she volunteers at a womanâs clinicâa job her husband strongly disapproves of. Then, at a glittering yuletide gala, she meets the charming poet Dai Tregarron and finds her spirits lifted. But scarcely an hour later, the charismatic Dai is enmeshed in a nightmareâaccused of killing a young streetwalker who had been smuggled into the party. Â
Even though she suspects that an upper-class clique is quickly closing ranks to protect the real killer, Claudine vows to do her utmost for Dai. But it seems that hypocritical London society would rather send an innocent poet to the gallows than expose the shocking truth about one of their own.
Nevertheless, itâs the season of miracles and Claudine finally sees a glimmer of hopeânot only for Dai but for a young woman she befriends who is teetering on the brink of a lifetime of unhappiness. Anne Perryâs heartwarming new holiday novel is a celebration of courage, faith, and love for all seasons.
