About this listen

Escape to the country this Christmas in this feel-good favourite from best seller Veronica Henry.

Homemade mulled wine, freshly baked mince pies and plenty of Christmas cheer....

It's the most wonderful time of the year, they say. And in the little Cotswolds village of Honeycote, the festive season looks set to bring people more than a few surprises under the tree.

As Lucy Liddiard plans the festive lunch for her nearest and dearest, she has little idea of the dramas about to play out before the crackers are pulled and the corks popped. She knows the family brewery, Honeycote Ales, has seen better days. She knows her husband, Mickey, is an incorrigible flirt. But does she realise how close both are edging towards disaster?

As the nights draw in, garlands deck the halls and the carols ring out, there are secrets and lies, love and lust all waiting to be unwrapped.

Welcome to Honeycote, and a Christmas no-one will ever forget.

Irresistibly good fun and bursting with heart, A Country Christmas is the first book in the Honeycote trio, followed by A Country Life and A Country Wedding. Each can be listened to as a standalone, or they can be listened to as a series.

This book was originally published in print, ebook and audiobook formats as Honeycote.

The actual story is ok , but this is NOT as advertized, a christmas book ! There are no mince pies or christmas cheer, actually the family have a pretty dismal christmas and doesn’t occur until about half way through the book and is over and done with rather quickly . Disapointed, I almost feel like asking for my money back

Not Christmassy at all

The title was misleading as although the storyline played out over Christmas it was not Christmassy at all so a bit disappointing. story was ok, if a little rude in places. Just about managed to finish it.

Misleading title
