Five Gold Rings: Christmas tales about hope, longing and the wonderfully messy people we love
From deserted doorsteps to algorithm-controlled festive joy, these darkly funny, deeply human Christmas tales celebrate the people who feel left out of the holiday spirit - and the thin thread of hope that pulls them back in.
A grieving dog-lover finds a new reason to hang a stocking.
A gay couple revolt against a world where Christmas comes twelve times a year.
A locksmith spends Christmas Eve rescuing everyone except herself.
Neighbourly one-upmanship turns into tragedy on a shiny new estate.
A lonely widow rewrites tradition - and discovers belonging in the wrong place at the right time.
Tender, sharp and full of the strange magic only December can conjure, Five Gold Rings is a collection for anyone who knows that family is complicated, joy is fragile, and Christmas isn't always kind - but redemption sometimes arrives wrapped in the most unexpected package.
Perfect for fans of Matt Haig, David Nicholls, Marian Keyes, and heart-first festive fiction with a twist.
