Windows by Anni Holliday

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Windows is a contemporary genre and has a beautiful front cover that makes me want to go there and visit the shops and the shopkeepers. The story is set in Scotland in a small town. Windows is a beautiful, heartwarming, and cozy read, perfect for these autumn/winter months. It is an easy read and engaging from the start. I really liked all the characters and felt like I knew them all very well. I enjoyed finding out about their backgrounds and about the competition to decorate their windows in their shops. Furthermore, I love the descriptions in the book of the windows and wish I could go and visit them. The story is beautifully written and is an enchanting read. It is a lighthearted and heartwarming read. I am so glad I got to read this book. I was hooked, and I read the book in a day. Five stars. Blurb Windows is a celebration of the High Street, small-town life and the hard-working and dedicated shopkeepers, public servants and other people who work to keep that life going. It’s a funny and poignant portrayal of human nature and its many frailties and strengths, including love, hate, loyalty, ambition, determination, error and redemption. A key theme is the human tendency to rush to conclusions about others which can later prove to be wrong. It’s also a celebration of family, community, childhood and play, books and the joy of reading, and the beauty of the Scottish landscape. The apparent idyll in which it is set is, however, in danger from an unknown person secretly bent on revenge, threatening the inhabitants’ lives and livelihoods and the very fabric of the town itself. Will they realise the danger in time or will the threat strike and, if so, when, how, where and on whom? Will the townspeople escape it and, if not, will they survive and how will they put their shattered lives and town back together again?
