The Christmas Bookshop
by Jenny Colgan
2021
Carmen Hogan loses her job and returns to Edinburgh for the holidays, moving back in with family she has been avoiding. When she starts helping in a cozy bookshop, she begins to rebuild her confidence, and her relationships.
Series background & context
The Christmas Bookshop stories are set in Edinburgh, where a charming shop window can look like a lifeline when everything else feels like a mess.
In The Christmas Bookshop, Carmen Hogan returns home after her life in the city falls apart. A family tangle, a bruised sense of self, and a bookshop that needs help push her into the kind of holiday season she never planned.
Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop brings Carmen back for another festive stretch, with new responsibilities and fresh pressure to keep the shop, and her own life, on track.
These books lean into comfort, family friction, and the particular hopefulness that comes with a stack of books and a warm place to sit.
