Escape to the country this Christmas in this delightful festive read from bestselling author Veronica Henry.

'As fruity as a mince pie' SUNDAY EXPRESS

Christmas is coming to Honeycote House and Lucy Liddiard is busy whipping up a feast of festive treats (all with an extra dash of brandy!) for her nearest and dearest.

She knows this year's celebrations need to be extra special - their beloved Cotswolds brewery is struggling and Lucy is sure that the secret her husband Mickey is hiding isn't a diamond necklace in her stocking...

As the scent of cinnamon fills the air and the glamorous guests start to arrive, Lucy suspects there might be a few more secrets waiting underneath the Christmas tree...

It's certainly going to be a holiday to remember!

Irresistibly good fun and bursting with heart, A Country Christmas is the first book in the Honeycote series, followed by A Country Life and A Country Wedding.
