Christmas at the Island Hotel by Jenny Colgan
Characters created by Jenny Colgan are fully realized, authentic humans with flaws and anxieties shared by all people. The residents of Muir Island, a Scottish island that is located nearer to Norway than London, are introduced to us in this Christmas pistache. We first meet Fintain, a devastated widower attempting to fulfil his late husband Colton’s ambition by opening a top-notch inn and restaurant on the isolated island, but having no prior knowledge or motivation to do so. He needs the aid of everyone in Muir, including his sister Flora, who is pregnant, the unemployed French chef Gaspard, the pastry cook and pot boy who have never worked in a “real” kitchen, and all the other residents.
