Unstable Felicity: A Christmas Novella

Autor Cat Hodge
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 oct 2020
"Well, all your worries are over now We'll straighten out your books, and then we're going to make the season merry and bright.
"Oh, the season will be bright, Jill thought. That glow is just my family burning down.


Are you longing for a satisfying Christmas story, but so much holiday fare is just a bit too saccharine? Then perhaps Unstable Felicity is precisely the novel for you.

Home is the last place Jill O'Leary wants to be for the holidays, but that's exactly where she's going.

The only way she's found peace from her domineering mother Regina and her oil-and-water sisters is by staying away. But that meant staying away from her beloved father too, and while Jill is still full of grief after his death, her mother summons her: come home and save your father's business, or be the reason the family has to sell it off.

So Jill heads back to small town Ohio, where she finds the full holiday story checklist: Christmas parade, cookie making, white elephant exchange, the ex-boyfriend, the tall dark stranger, and lots of snow.

In this literary riff on holiday storytelling debut novelist Cat Hodge stands well-worn Christmas story tropes on their heads to hilarious effect by combining them with the story of Shakespeare's King Lear. Along the way she tells an emotionally honest story full of flawed and real characters who love each other enough to learn to heal even after having hurt each other.

Customers are saying:
"Hodge's prose is a pleasure from end to end--clear, unpretentious, self-aware, yet still at times achieving the profound."

"This was a perfect quick read--with a perfect happy ending "

"This lady can write: Whip-smart and funny author. Looking forward to her next outing."

"Don't be fooled into thinking this is another Hallmark Christmas story - there is much more depth and exploration of family dynamics."
