Set in Wales, this modern gothic is long on atmosphere and short on plot. If you can swallow the angle--bad dreams clear up when vaguely Arthurian mystery is solved--you will enjoy a sweet love story and a likeable heroine. Setting it a Christmas is a tad too much, however, as you will see.
The author, who is Canadian, uses a vocabulary that may confuse a few Americans, but is pure nostalgia if you have ever lived in Great Britain. Well written---I will read more of the author's work.

driven, which works because the prime players are different in temperament yet add much to the mix. Though the subplot involving Merlin's Prophecy (Lyn's dream) seems distracting at times, it ultimately works its way into the main plot. Susanna Kearsley provides her audience with a complex relationship drama that shows her ability to showcase her cast.
