For years Jeanette Winterson has loved writing a new story at Christmas time and here she brings together twelve of her brilliantly imaginative, funny and bold tales.

Perfect for reading by the fire with loved ones, or while traveling home for the holidays. Enjoy the season of peace and goodwill, mystery, and a little bit of magic courtesy of one of our most fearless and accomplished writers.
虽然读了两个故事觉得不是我的那杯茶后面的故事没有读,但特别喜欢读故事之后jeanette写的圣诞文章和食谱,觉得时间都慢了下来。节日氛围并不在灯火辉煌装饰满圣诞彩灯和饰品的商场里,而是在这本书里,在jeanette的文字里。圣诞就应该是给予的节日,新年就应该是反思的节日,而不是买买买!静下来慢一点,在给自己一次机会……
评分继承了作者短篇小说的特质。
