A beautifully romantic novel from the main characters stories but also the pockets of stories that we glimpse from those who visit Kowalski’s too. In a way this is a genre crossing novel, there are elements of an underlying mystery – a secret – a reason for running away… but at the same time there’s a cosy, magical setting, endearing characters, love stories and more.
How does it feel reading Miranda Dickinson’s very first book, for the very first time, fourteen years after it was first published ? Amazing. Fairytale of New York is literal proof that dreams do come true. Miranda is a bestselling Author, with a number of hugely popular and successful titles now published and out there in the world. Her debut is proof that dreams can come true, amazing things can happen, and.. that it takes a lot of hard work.
I loved that Miranda Dickinson’s style, finesse, characterisation and ability to completely immerse us in a setting, is there right back in her debut and has been there in all of her novels since. As time has gone on, she has tweaked and developed and improved on her style and yet her debut is timeless – the culmination of hardwork and dedication. I did not want to let these characters go!
