The Christmas Party by Karen Swan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When Declan Lorne, the
last remaining knight in Ireland, dies suddenly, an ancient title passes
with him. But his estate on Ireland’s rugged south-west coast is left
to his three daughters. The two eldest, Ottie and Pip, inherit in line
with expectations, but to everyone’s surprise – and dismay – it is the
errant baby of the family, Willow, who gets the castle.
Why her?
Something unknown – something terrible - made her turn her back on her
family three years earlier, escaping to Dublin and vowing never to
return. So when Willow quickly announces she is selling up, her revenge
seems sweet and the once-close sisters are pushed to breaking point: in
desperation, Pip risks everything to secure her own future, and Ottie
makes a decision that will ruin lives. It’s each woman for herself.
Before
moving in, Connor Shaye, the prospective new owner, negotiates throwing
a lavish party at the castle just days before Christmas – his hello,
their goodbye. But as their secrets begin to catch up with them, Ottie,
Willow and Pip are forced to ask themselves which is harder: stepping
into the future, or letting go of the past?
A lovely feel good festive read. Just what you need when the nights have drawn in and Christmas is coming.
