Comfort and Joy

A Cosy Christmas Short Story from The Sunday Times Bestseller



A heartwarming Christmas short story set at the Plumberry School of Comfort Food, from Top Ten bestseller Cathy Bramley!

Curl up this Christmas with bestselling author Cathy Bramley - COMFORT AND JOY continues the story of The Plumberry School of Comfort Food and **contains recipes!**
It's been a busy year for Verity Bloom at the Plumberry School of Comfort Food, but Christmas Eve is finally here. With delicious treats all wrapped up and the ingredients packed away, Verity is looking forward to a relaxing few days with her new boyfriend.

Good food, family and friends - it's a simple recipe for true comfort and joy, and all Verity's friends in the village are full of excitement about the holidays too.

But the weather has other plans in store . . . Relentless rain leads to a power cut that spells disaster for many of Plumberry's residents. It's starting to look like this year's celebrations could be a total washout.

With dreams of a perfect Christmas dashed, will the last of the festive cheer be swept away in the downpour? Or can Verity cook up a miracle for everyone she holds dear?
