“Four friends; one promise; a life-changing adventure!” This book is a great Christmas read – romantic, magical and yet about true friendship and what love really is.
Christmas is a time of giving and Keeping a Christmas Promise does exactly that. As we all know, books make a good gift and this is a novel aimed at women, especially those who have lived a little and appreciate the highs and lows of life. It is a thought-provoking work of fiction, focusing on four friends who create their bucket lists together and make a promise to fulfil Laura’s, which is to see the Northern Lights on her birthday: “That’s what I’d like to do by the time I’m forty.”
Beautiful descriptions vividly portray the striking setting of Iceland, whilst the mystery and magical element of the lights are never far away. The necessary sense of adventure, their need to survive in the bitter, harsh Icelandic winter, and the experience of a real community Christmas spirit produces a heady mix for Freya and her friends. And, of course, romance looms in the form of local mountain farmer Petur.
A moving, poignant reminder of the volatility of life, this story is a heartwarming testimony to genuine friendship, love and a celebration of experiencing life to the full.
