Welcome to the gorgeous little Scottish village of Christmas, where snow is falling, presents are being wrapped and the locals are writing their festive wish lists. Will this finally be the year that Belle’s dreams come true?Thirty-year-old Belle Albany is feeling lonely this Christmas. Another whole year has passed and her life is... exactly the same as it was last December. She longs for true love and a little bit of winter magic – but she’s almost given up on finding it in the sleepy Scottish community where she lives...When Belle crashes into elderly Edina on her cherry red bicycle, it’s not the meet-cute she’d been hoping for. But she immediately recognises the lost look in Edina’s watery-blue eyes and resolves to organise a Christmas to remember for them both – brimming with mince pies, mulled wine and lots of sparkle. Although Belle hadn’t counted on Edina’s home being a crumbling Scottish castle and she certainly hadn’t been expecting Edina’s handsome long-lost grandson Jack Hamilton-Kirk to turn up on the doorstep in the middle of a snow storm...Jack is arrogant, rude and bossy and Belle is convinced he’s about to ruin the seasonal cheer she has worked hard to create. He’s basically the Grinch in human form, so why does her heart race every time they’re in the same room? They disagree on almost everything, from menu choices to music, and yet she starts to glimpse a softer side hidden behind Jack’s clipped words and brooding countenance.As they hunt down costumes for the annual nativity show and save a donkey from a snowy disaster, Belle can’t ignore their growing attraction. But will a secret from Jack’s past come between them? Or will this finally be the year Belle falls in love?This gorgeous, festive read is like a warm hug in a book!

Målet för attentatet är ett möte mellan judar, muslimer och medlemmar ur Svenska kyrkan, och dådet skördar många offer.

Ihminen – tai juuri mikään elävä – ei selviäisi ilman vettä. Silti ajattelemme vettä hyvin vähän. Kokemuksemme vedestä rajoittuvat kodin vesipisteelle, sateeseen ja järvessä uimiseen. Suurin osa ihmisen ja veden välisestä vuorovaikutuksesta jää huomaamatta.Ismo Karhun Vauhko jumalolento – Kertomus vedestä keskittyy ihmisen ja veden kiehtovaan suhteeseen. Kirjassa matkustetaan Vienan vedenjakajalta kohti länttä ja merta. Samalla Karhu tekee kiinnostavia havaintoja veden ja ihmisen kanssakäymisestä. Näkökulma laajenee paikallisesta kansalliseksi ja edelleen globaaliksi. Karhu analysoi vettä monin silmin: tekniikan, ympäristövaikutusten, talouden, taiteiden ja teologian kautta. Samalla haetaan vastausta veden perimmäiseen olemukseen.Sagan ympäristökirjat ovat monipuolisia puheenvuoroja ilmastosta, ympäristöstä ja luonnosta. Ismo Karhu (s. 1954) on metsänhoitaja ja maatalous- ja metsätieteiden maisteri pääaineenaan ympäristönsuojelu. Työuransa Karhu on tehnyt suurimmaksi osaksi väliportaan hallinnossa, jossa monet hänen työtehtävänsä ovat liittyneet vesiin. Hän on julkaissut kaksi luontoa käsittelevää kirjaa, Tammukkapuro ja Matalassa virrassa.
