I really enjoyed Clare Revell’s newest Christmas novella, Just Another Winter’s Tale. It’s a story of moving on with life even in the midst of sorrow and loss. Well-loved Wychwood Cross Green Grocer, Vere Idowu, is a kindhearted and generous man. He’s still struggling to get over the painful death of his sister. Robyn Yardley, a struggling author with a bad case of writer’s block. She’d just moved Wychwood Cross to try and clear her mind so that she can finish her manuscript. Vere and Robyn live close to each other, and as he helps her get settled in her new place, the two become more than simply friends. While both would like to take their relationship to a more serious place. A tragic event in Vere’s life prevents that. I must say, Ms. Revell had me guessing to the end, and then I got it wrong. This is an engaging book, perfect for the Christmas season.
