The perfect Christmas stocking filler: three festive tales from the brilliant pen of Kate Atkinson.
''Lucy would have challenged anyone not to cry at the sight of their child in a Nativity play. Even a sheepish Maude, even a scowling Beatrice – currently attempting a Chinese burn on an adjacent angel. A shepherd shouted something incomprehensible to Joseph. One of the Wise Men wet himself. Beatrice waved enthusiastically – a little too enthusiastically – at Lucy from the angelic choir. It was better than any religion, Lucy thought.''
From the award-winning author of LIFE AFTER LIFE, SHRINES OF GAIETY and DEATH AT THE SIGN OF THE ROOK
Genre: General Fiction
