#Let it snow book review full
Told in a plot-focused, accessible prose, the book maintains its lighthearted tone throughout, never delving too deeply into Christina’s feelings toward her own family, her friendships with the other shopkeepers, or the classist attitudes of her friends.Ī wholesome Christmas tale full of adorable characters and unexpected kindnesses. Several moments are so sweet they’ll make your teeth hurt, but the holiday feasts, caroling, and general Christmas spirit help the novel fall squarely within its genre of satisfying Christmas romances. As usual, Thayer’s novel is so full of details about life on Nantucket that the island becomes its own character. Only if she successfully challenges Oscar will Christina ever feel secure in a relationship with his son. Christina and the other shopkeepers decide to band together to change Oscar’s mind. “Her Inner Christina told her she absolutely could not count on this evening amounting to anything at all, but here with him now, so close that they could reach out and touch, all common sense floated away.” Then Christina receives a letter from Andy’s father stating that he’s purchased the buildings on the wharf and will be raising the rent. She attempts to talk herself out of the crush, relying on internal dialogue that she refers to throughout the story, somewhat artlessly, as her “Inner Christina.” However, Andy takes an interest in her and wears down her defenses. When Wink’s mother visits the store with her brother, Andy, Christina feels an instant attraction to him. It turns out Wink is the granddaughter of Oscar Bittlesman, one of the richest men on Nantucket. Wink not only returns, but is so disarming that Christina offers her a regular job. If Wink returns, Christina will pay her the meager sum required to purchase the stickers. Christina strikes a bargain with the sullen girl, who introduces herself as Wink, convincing the child to come back and work in the store for a short period. The novel begins as Christina Antonioni prevents a 9-year-old girl from shoplifting stickers from her Nantucket toy shop.
