Could a sprinkling of magic save Christmas this year?
Amid the salt marshes and rolling fields of Periwinkle Bay, Magda Conway is enjoying her retirement in ivy-clad Mistletoe Cottage.
Yet with three weeks to go until Christmas, as the fairy lights twinkle and the trees go up around the village, her peace is disrupted when sheâs left in sole charge of her two mischievous grandchildren.
Before long, sheâs at her witâs end â but high on a kitchen shelf lies her motherâs handwritten recipe book. And as she turns to it for advice, she finds more than just recipes between its tattered covers: thereâs a pinch of magic too, and maybe even a sprinkling of love . . .
