Let It Snow: A Novel

By: Nancy Thayer

Rating: 5 of 5

In Nancy Thayer’s latest novel, it is Christmas time in Nantucket. Christina Antonioni is the owner of a toy store that is located in a set of historic shacks on the wharf in Nantucket. Along with the other owners, they scramble to make ends meet, especially during the winter when visitors don’t often arrive at the island.

A young girl, Wink, becomes a valued friend who helps Christina during the busy Christmas season.

The shop owners are shocked when the new owner of the wharf raises their rent to a degree that is unfeasible for all. Christina, by nature of her relationship with Wink and with Wink’s uncle, is voted the voice of the shop owners to speak with the wharf owner. That is because Wink and and uncle are granddaughter and son of the Scrooge of a landlord.

The story is cute and there are lots of funny moments. The relationships between the shop owners are worth the price of admission for this story. It’s also fun to watch Christina and Wink (and, yes, Uncle) as their relationships develop, too.

I really enjoy Christmas tales and this is a very good one. I always enjoy a trip to Nantucket via Nancy Thayer’s novels.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
