A Christmas Journey by Anne Perry
3.0
I'm not sure this book was particularly festive, but it was interesting. It starts with a "friends weekend away" in the English countryside during Jane Austen's era.
During dinner, a scathing remark is made towards one of the widower women, and that night she goes out to the lake and drowns herself.
The group decides that the person who made the comment needs to atone in some way. So, she is "forced" to travel all the way to far northern Scotland to deliver the news of her daughter's death to her mother.
At the end of the book, it is rather humbling realizing that everyone has there own problems, and everyone should be nicer to each other.
