About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin

Let the queen of feel-good Christmas fiction whisk you off to the snowy mountains this festive season...

Take one woman longing for the perfect Christmas . . .

All Clara has ever wanted is Christmas surrounded by loved ones, full of warmth and delicious food. So when her new boyfriend asks her to move to Switzerland, she can't help but say yes! After all, what could be more perfect than Christmas in the Alps?

Add a dash of surprise

She quickly signs up for a tempting chocolate-making class, but it turns out to be chocolate-making bootcamp! And her boyfriend isn't all he seemed either . . .

And enjoy a magical festive treat!

Despite it all, Clara begins to make friends - including the aloof yet intriguing Gabriel. With all of the ingredients at her fingertips, will she finally be able to whisk up her Christmas dream?

'It just wouldn't be Christmas without Jo's book in your stocking!' Jill Mansell

I really enjoyed this story. All of the author’s books are good and this one didn’t disappoint. Great narration too.

Lovely listen

Another amazing book from Joe Thomas that transports us to wintry Switzerland on the adventures of Clara learning to make chocolate and a bit of romance involved.

The whole story was catchy and entertaining

This is Jo at her finest, I love how she offers the reader an opportunity to learn in depth about a subject and who doesn’t love chocolate!
I enjoyed her descriptions of the area and I really felt I was breathing in crisp mountain air .
A good story and realistically told, though I did guess the ending fairly early in the book .
My only tiny criticism would be I would have liked more detailed descriptions of the characters .

Switzerland and chocolate, perfection!
