In the tradition of Trisha Ashley and Jenny Colgan, this first book in a new series by Alexandra Brown—author of the popular Cupcakes at Carrington’s series—tells the hilarious, heartwarming story of a jilted bride who anticipates a lonely Christmas but instead finds herself in the tiny village of Tindledale, where the residents share her obsession with knitting.

When life unravels, it’s time to knit…

Sybil has always taken comfort in her passion for knitting, creating beautiful knits stitch by stitch. But her world suddenly unravels when her fiancé ditches her for her identical twin sister at her Star Wars-themed wedding, leaving her sporting a Princess Leia do. Then things go from bad to worse when an incident at work jeopardizes her job.

Hoping to escape her woes and forget that she’ll be alone for Christmas this year, she visits her friend in Tindledale—a winter wonderland of quaint shops and snowy rooftops. When she arrives in the idyllic town, she can’t help feeling like she’s in a Hallmark greeting card. She’s embraced by welcoming—if eccentric—locals wearing handmade knits that remind Sybil of her own creations as well as her unrealized ambitions of selling them. So when the vintage boutique asks her to make an assortment of knits for their display window, she’s thrilled. The hot town doctor has even taken an interest in Sybil, hoping to heal her broken heart.

But just when Sybil thinks she’s going to have her fairytale Christmas after all, an unexpected turn of events threatens to unspool her happily ever after.

      Brown, known for her "Carrington's" books (Ice Creams at Carrington's), launches a new series set in a fictional English village. Facing a lonely Christmas after being left at the altar by her fiance and the possibility of losing her job, Sybil flees London and heads to Tindledale, where her friends run a pub in the picturesque little community. There, she encounters the hot town doctor, Ben, and a host of quirky residents. Soon Sybs is rallying the villagers in a giant knitting project in an effort to save Hettie's House of Haberdashery from closing. VERDICT Fans of British chick lit will adore this story whether or not they enjoy knitting, although knitters will also appreciate the included pattern for a lovely little Christmas pudding decoration.
