The Christmas Postcards: Cosy up with the uplifting festive romance from the Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

In my opinion, she is in a league of her own writing wise, and i am still yet to come across an author with her style of writing that manages to pull it off so well.

Told across four plus years another fantastic winter read by Karen Swan. This is one of the best if not best I have read. In Karen Swan's The Christmas Postcards, two characters' lives are linked by a series of coincidences. Natasha's daughter, Mabel loses her toy cow, Moolah, whilst on a family holiday. Natasha turns to social media for help and hopefully Moolah's return. The stuffed cow ends up in the clutches of Duffy, a climber who uses it as a mascot. A lovely winter story that isn't dottily Christmassy, fate, relationships, love, second chances and fortuity all play a part. Compelling and heartwarming.The Christmas Postcards is an alluring, compelling tale that sweeps you away into the life of Natasha, a young mother who, after her daughter loses her toy elephant she can’t possibly live without, begins a correspondence with the man who found it, Duffy, who seems to be on a soul-searching mission of his own and who may have actually spent a moment of time with Natasha once years before. I’d like to thank NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for approving me for an ARC of this book. I had an Audible credit and decided to use it on this book, especially once I learnt that Kristen Atherton was the narrator. I have listened to a few books narrated by Kristen and she always blows me away with her exemplary voices. An idea by one of Natasha's friends to post a Lost Toy search on social media attracts the attention they need, and soon there is a reunion of sorts.

Natasha was an interesting protagonist. As a mother, I related to her and her inconsolable child, if I was in her shoes I would have done anything to find Moolah again too. Her bond with Mabel and natural mothering instinct was beautiful to read but I felt that she had lost her own identity. Her marriage and astonishing home didn’t seem to make her happy and I desperately wanted her to see the light and forge a new path for herself and Mabel. While making a rush exit from a hotel while on holiday, Natasha and Rob leave behind their young daughters stuffed toy.

There wasn’t much christmassy about it at all except for the fact that it’s set in December and the final scenes in a Christmas market.Nat is very unsettled in her marriage, she has everything she could want and she can't seem to pinpoint why she is unhappy. Swan deftly depicts Nat's unsettledness without making her unlikable or appear selfish. Thanks to Netgalley for a review copy of this book. This is another one of Karen Swan’s top notch books that is a wonderful and absorbing read that shows once again her ability to consistently provide all the feels that keep you reading. I really loved it. A social media post to help find Moola goes viral eventually reaching Duffy although he is already too far to return the toy he promises to send photos whenever he has internet.

Mabel is distraught and cannot sleep without her beloved animal so Natasha begins a quest to find it. The prose is effortless and immersive. The characters are multilayered, troubled, and genuine. And the plot is a heartwarming tale about life, loss, love, friendship, relationship dynamics, hope, happiness, tragedy, fate, self-discovery, and romance.Natasha and Tom (Duffy) time was never on their side. From Natasha getting married (the less said about Rob, James whoever he is the better) to disasters up mountains. For time to finally possibly just be on their side. I loved Tom from the off he is so likeable given everything which has happened to him too. Natasha I could say grew on me. Grew on me every chapter with Tom. I could not take to Rob and there was clearly a reason for it. Natasha and Rob are on their way home, along with their daughter, Mabel, from a holiday in the Maldives. To break their journey they stop off in Vienna to wait for their connecting flight. Mabel leaves her beloved soft toy behind, a cow named Moolah. It is found by a man named Duffy who takes it with him on his travels as a mascot. Mabel is distraught so Natasha enlists the help of social media, culminating in Duffy sending them photographic updates of Moolah’s journey. Unknown to both of them, Natasha and Duffy have a past….

Printable Christmas Cards - All Original Artwork - Cute Winter Animals - Christmas Junk Journal -Printable Greeting Cards - PostcardsOverall, I was grabbed hook line and sinker by this book, I was a bit daunted at first because it is a chunk but I absolutely flew through it as I didn’t want to put it down. My only thing was that I wouldn’t really call this a Christmas book as I think the title and cover made me think it would be a lot more seasonal whereas in reality there were only a couple of connections. The novel begins with a few people’s point of views which is confusing as it also changes date. Not only are you keeping up with the dates, but also the characters as you are only beginning to get to know them. I loved the idea of a social media post to find Moola going viral and flying around the world. So many wonderful people wanting to help.
