My Review

Welcome to my spot on the Blogtour for One Snowy Day by Shari Low. This is the first book by Shari Low that I've read, despite the author having an extensive back catalogue. I'm pleased to say that it certainly won't be my last. I found the book to be pure escapism, filled with larger-than-life characters that you cared about. As the story progressed, I found myself completely invested in the lives of the tight-knit community and felt as if I were one of them.

Set over the space of one winter's day in the Scottish village of Weirbridge we meet Jessie McLean. Not only is it Jessie's sixty-fifth birthday, but she's about to start her retirement from her beloved hair salon and move to Tenerife with her husband. The village are all looking forward to the big party which will be held in the cafe that has become central to the local community.

Over the course of the day, we meet a wide range of characters, who all add elements to the storyline. I loved the larger-than-life characters, particularly the older generation, as they added fun and eccentricity to the story. As Jessie uncovers a couple of secrets that have been withheld from her, she begins to question the decisions she's made about giving up her job and jetting off to the sun. Other members of the community are dealing with dilemmas of their own, but are determined that nothing will spoil Jessie's big day.

I adored the way the story featured a wide range of ages and showed a strong sense of community. As individuals grappled with the predicament they found themselves in, we saw the age-old adage "A problem shared is a problem halved" at work. Shocks and surprises stopped being insurmountable as practical solutions are found, along with new friendships and relationships forged.

One Snowy Day by Shari Low is available in paperback, ebook and audio format. My thanks to Boldwood Books and Rachel's Random Resources for a review copy.
