Hanukkah at the Great Greenwich Ice Creamery

Book excerpt: “A divinely enchanting and whimsical holiday treat! . . . simply a delightful story from start to finish” from the author of A Game of Desire (The Book Review). Hanukkah days, Christmas nights and strawberry ice cream . . . Cohen Ford is a man who could do with a little bit of sweetening up. It’s no surprise that when he walks into The Great Greenwich Ice Creamery on a typically gloomy London day before Christmas, he insists on a black coffee rather than his childhood favorite—strawberry ice cream. But then he meets River de Luca, the woman behind the flavors. After their first encounter, Cohen begins visiting the ice creamery every Tuesday, gradually learning more about the intriguing River. Could her influence encourage cynical Cohen to become the man who embraces Christmas, Hanukkah and even strawberry ice cream? “Ideal holiday reading . . . a little gem of a story . . . Warmth and sincerity flavor this festive read.” —Books, Life and Everything “A charming seasonal love story . . . The is the perfect seasonal cozy and feel-good story, it’s beautifully written and full of festive cheer.” —Chicks, Rogues and Scandals
