Christmas at the Farmhouse by Rebecca Boxhall
As
the anticipation of Christmas builds in the Nielsen family’s cosy
farmhouse, Jo, Magnus and their grown-up children begin to congregate
for a hybrid Danish-Jersey festive season, each with a surprise of
their own – though the surprise that arrives over Christmas is the
most life-changing of all.
Fifty
years earlier, in 1969, Susan Jones finds herself being pursued by Mr
Jenners, her former English teacher, and at the age of seventeen is
packed off to a Home for Unmarried Mothers in London by her
uncompromising father. As Christmas approaches, all she can do is
desperately hope to be rescued, but will anyone be able to reach her
in time?
The
two timelines of this festive story gradually weave together in a
tale that examines whether love and hope can eventually triumph over
even the deepest sadness.
