First U.S. edition. New York, NY : William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2021] ℗2021. 310 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. "Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia's perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn't exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job. Thrown rather suddenly into the inner workings of Mr. McCredie's ancient bookshop on the picturesque streets of historic Edinburgh, Carmen is intrigued despite herself. The store is dusty and disorganized but undeniably charming. Can she breathe some new life into it in time for Christmas shopping? What will happen when a famous and charismatic author takes a sudden interest in the bookshop, and Carmen? And will the Christmas spirit be enough to help heal her fractured family?" --audiobook container. 20211203. Sisters Fiction. Bookstores Scotland Edinburgh Fiction. Estranged families Fiction.
