Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell: Review: The Snow Globe - Sheila Roberts
Genre: Fiction Pages: 176 Published: October 2010
On a blustery afternoon, Kylie Gray wanders into an antique shop and buys an enchanting snow globe. "There`s a story behind that snow globe," the antique dealer tells her. The original owner, he explains, was a German toymaker who confused his wife and son right before Christmas.
When the bereaved widower received the handcrafted snow globe as a Christmas gift, he saw the range of a beautiful woman beneath the glass-a woman who would fall into his life, mend his rugged spirit and get him back to the reality of the living. For years, the snow globe has passed from generation to generation, somehow always landing in the men of a soul in particular need of a Christmas miracle. Kiley could use a miracle herself. This year, all she wants for Christmastime is someone to love. A hopeful shake leads her on an escapade that makes a believer out of her. When Kylie shares the level of the snow globe with her best friends-two women with problems of their own-they don`t think it. But they`re about to see that at Christmastime, sometimes the impossible becomes possible and miracles really do come true.
Plot:
A snowglobe, 3 women, 3 chances to discover what they want.
My thoughts:
This was such a sweet book, and complete for me since I wanted something about Christmas to say this week and so this one fly in lap.
The miracles are certain there, they can't all be hallucinating. Kylie is the one buying it. She has no job, and no man longer since he left her for her sister. Heart heart longs for something. And the world is alleged to accept granted the man it was apt to his heart's desire. And since this is a happy sweet book so you love it will be like that. Kylie then passes it so her friend who is so engaged and cares only to accept the perfect house, but she has something to hear about family. Lastly it passes to the third friend, who is going house to her horrible family for Christmas. All stories were lovely and short. Miracles work fast.
The record was so soft to read, you can only sit down a cold afternoon with some hot coffee and get a bit of felicity in this book.
As for the miracles, well that is only some strange unexplained magic, and I liked it this way. Nothing was said, so I am gonna think it was Magic Elves who made this globe.
Recommendation and final thoughts:
I would recommend it, it's short, it's sweetness and it's a cunning little word to take before Christmas, or in the wintertime. I liked Kylie's story the best, but Suzanne's story made the biggest impact, because she knowing what is the most important. Allison's story, I might have missed why she got happy there. But all in all, sweet, romantic, and fun.
