Synopsis: Comfort and Joy

It's December 23rd and Clara Dunphy is running around Oxford Street, trying to make Christmas perfect: it's a lifelong ambition. This blackly funny, tender novel poses important questions: Why does Christmas have such an emotional hold over us. Why does family stuff hit the peak of its madness on December the 25th? And is it okay to want more than you have, when what you have seems so enviable from the outside?
