Summary

Can the imperfect family really have the perfect Christmas? Juliet Joyce adores Christmas. She loves the presents, the tree, the turkey, the tinsel, everything. Already the festive spirit is upon her, which is just as well as this Christmas things are starting to get out of hand. Her son, Tom, is out of work and bringing home a slew of unsuitable partners; pregnant daughter Chloe and her little boy have moved back in; Juliet's father, Frank, is getting over heartbreak of his own; and Rita, her eccentric mother, is behaving more erratically each day. And has the chaos got too much for Juliet's husband, Rick? With the big day fast approaching, Juliet hopes that she can stop everything spiralling out of control, because the only thing she wants is her family all around her and her home to be filled With Love At Christmas.

lovely jolly story

I think this is the 8th time I've listened to this book. I also love the one that comes before this. I adore the narrator also.

I wish Carole Matthews would do some more books in this series.

Very festive

Yes I listened to this in July but I still got that warm fuzzy feeling of Christmas that Carole Matthews always seems to bring to her books. Narrated so very well that I laughed out loud at so many parts. Brilliant book, highly recommend

A lovely Christmas story

If you could sum up With Love at Christmas in three words, what would they be?

Lovely,funny,witty, could happen to all of us

What was one of the most memorable moments of With Love at Christmas?

When Holly was born, when Samuel died, and above the carpet scene when Tom came in unexpected

What does Julia Franklin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She really was Juliette telling her own story; and Julia (or Juliette), was very appropriate

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have liked to and did listen way into the night in a very few bouts, not getting much "beauty sleep" but it was well worth it.

Any additional comments?

I loved it, will recommend it. I laughed a lot, shed a few tears, guessed early on that it was Myrak in the shed. Carole Matthews is a wonderful author

Loved it

I loved listening to this, Julia Franklin is a great narrator and gets every character just right, there’s so many funny bits in the book, along with a well put together story, I listen to it any time of year, and can imagine ever scene in every chapter, Julia, Rick, Mother etc etc it’s light hearted and a great listen, I’ve listened to almost all Carole Matthew’s, there just a couple of narrators of her stories I can’t listen to, but love her stories definitely worth a listen 👍
