Book Review of A Time-Travel Christmas: The Christmas Portrait / The Spirit of Things to Come / The Ghost of Christmas Past / Twelfth Night

reviewed on + 533 more book reviews


The first story, A Christmas Portrait was definitely my favorite because it was so well-written. The scene in the store window was vividly described with such exquisite detail that it came alive to the reader as well as to the main character who was transported into it! I could feel the textile of the ball gowns and the decor of the home! As a New Yorker, I relished in the detailed illstrations of the city 100 years ago versus present times!

The Spirit of Things to Come was also a well-written story that reminds us of the blessings we often take for granted. I love the strong main character Taylor and how she stood up for basic rights in the restrictive Puritanical society. Equally heartwarming was the tender way the smitty Jared treated her.

The Ghost of Christmas Past was a cute story. I loved the dynamics between the characters, and how Jason was determined to change Annie's fate. In Twelfth Night, Aline was an admirable character who made a difference in the lives of all the people she interacted with.
