Commentary/review

This place has everything: a dying billionaire, an early pregnancy, a Syrian doctor, a Texan alien and an uncontrollable little girl shouting in Scots. The writing flows like mead. I am officially done with Christmas entertainment for this year as few contemporary productions can surpass the Christmassiness of this little book.

The narration is perfectly fine. The accents – spot on. Sarah Barron is an accomplished voice actress.

The cover is colorful and promises a lot of things. The book delivers them. What a symbiosis.
