Book description -
After Maureen receives a plea from her friend Louisa, she faces a challenge far greater than trying to keep her potted poinsettia alive…
Spend Christmas with Maureen and her friends in this festive comedy novella, new for 2018!
My review -
Dear
old Maureen! Apart from eating and drinking, she usually only opens her mouth
to change feet. This time, under the baleful influence of a certain red coat,
she is uncharacteristically hurtful, shocking even herself. Something’s up and
someone bears a grudge. Her friends Louisa and Tim also feature and, as usual
with Jonathan Hill, the slapstick is interspersed with thoughtful sections. I
particularly liked Tim and Maureen comparing experiences of loneliness. Light
and dark, silly and sad, it’s all in here. Cheers, dears!

Just a thought - Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
