Why read it?
2 authors picked A Christmas Promise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Some Regency romances can tend towards repetitive tropes and a very 'safe' historical setting, but even in a charming, cosy, Christmassy Regency romance Mary Balogh manages to bring in real issues from history and work with them to bring you a deeper understanding of the time, all while melting your heart!
This moving, character-focused Christmas novel captures the loneliness inherent in the once-common practice of an arranged marriage. Troubled by clashes of background, social standing, and financial independence, neither party truly desires the match, but both choose to honor a dying man’s hopes and wishes, gaining deeper insight into a rambunctious family Christmas to be remembered.
From Elisabeth's list on film worthy regency era Christmas.
