Heather Long shows listeners the complexity of blame and forgiveness in a compelling Christmas-themed audio. Holly and her sister, Lily, are embarking on a Christmas trip to Devon, England, when a horrible accident occurs. Long details the suffocating blame Holly shoulders and the halting ways she attempts to exist without her sister. A series of karmic twists leads Holly back to Devon, where she makes friends with sharp-tongued Emma and delightful Jack. Emma's blunt West Country English is an appealing contrast to Holly's London accent. The highlight of Long's narration is its incremental changes in perception: Holly's slightly scattered, impulsive personality is revealed in an ever-shifting light. Long gives listeners an audiobook that is life changing in its reflections on family relationships. C.A. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
