It says it has 80 pages when in fact it’s 68. The rest are taken up advertising her other books.
Lots love Kate Atkinson's books. I thought I’d try with her small festive collection.
I can see why her books are loved by many Her writing in well presented and flows really well for us readers.
The first story.

This was a great little story about Lucy and her “motherhood”. Food for thought.
I loved a quote from Lucy in this story.
Lucy had met her husband Stephen and fell for him right away.
“He would have made a good politician-he had good teeth, and hair, and lied easily”
I loved that about Lucy. Her observations, beliefs and honesty.

I liked this one much better.
It’s a bit of a longer tale with a funny quirk at the end.

I liked this one much better. It was short but held my attention much better.
A man and his dog, and his Mother!
All these are obviously based around some sort of festive theme. A good introduction to this authors work and (I imagine) her quirky sense of humour
