I wasn’t quite sure on Tom, I have to say I started to find him very pushy and arrogant, I mean when someone says no then you stop fighting… regardless of if you think they’re making a mistake. But then his kind hearted-ness when Nats was struggling was compelling… Karen Swan’s last twenty-three novels have all sold around the world. I have no doubt that this Sunday Times bestselling writer will experience the same success with her latest festive release. The Christmas Postcards is a heart-warming, atmospheric and wholesome read this merry season. The twists were okay, but easily signposted earlier on. There wasn’t much christmassy about it at all except for the fact that it’s set in December and the final scenes in a Christmas market.

While making a rush exit from a hotel while on holiday, Natasha and Rob leave behind their young daughters stuffed toy.An idea by one of Natasha's friends to post a Lost Toy search on social media attracts the attention they need, and soon there is a reunion of sorts. Told across four plus years another fantastic winter read by Karen Swan. This is one of the best if not best I have read.

A lovely romantic light read. I think it counts as festive as it was mainly set in December however it wasn’t very Christmassy. An interesting, original storyline that was unfortunately too predictable. I honestly didn’t think my prediction would be right as they were a bit coincidental… but they were 🙈 The Christmas Postcards is an immersive story about love, loss, second chances and the fate that sometimes controls our life. I did find a lot of this predictable and the twist wasn’t that hard to work out, it’s a nice idea and premise, a tad long and some of the plot unnecessary.

Friends and family will love receiving your Christmas cards personalised with handwritten notes and photos from the year, they’ll be sure to cherish them for years to come. Natasha was an interesting protagonist. As a mother, I related to her and her inconsolable child, if I was in her shoes I would have done anything to find Moolah again too. Her bond with Mabel and natural mothering instinct was beautiful to read but I felt that she had lost her own identity. Her marriage and astonishing home didn’t seem to make her happy and I desperately wanted her to see the light and forge a new path for herself and Mabel.

It is the equivalent to standard paper size A6 and is the most common postcard size sold internationally.

I became attached to the characters, lovely personalities and Natasha’s friends were very supportive and I loved their humour. A learning experience for those of us without children as much a sweet reminder for those who do, Moolah’s travels are Swan’s way to take us on the journey of the parenting ‘rite of passage’ no mother wants to go through ~ the loss of a toy! Swan knows how to tap into readers’ emotions and feel the anguish both the mother and child feel. The quest to be reunited with Moolah propels the story as much as the side plot of two people also trying to recapture what they’d lost.

Personalised cards for someone special There were a few little twists in here, a couple of which I guessed pretty early on but I didn’t see the big one happening and it took me a bit off guard as it also meant that maybe me previous predictions could be correct… I’m not sure if it’s ever truly winter unless I have a Karen Swan book to cosy up with in front of the fire, and this twenty-fourth outing is everything I could have wanted and more. The Christmas Postcards is a charming, emotional, irresistible tale by Swan that’s the perfect escapist read with its layered characters, idyllic settings, and beautifully entertaining storyline.
