If Bridget Jones had two ex-husbands, three children, and invited her entire extended family over for Christmas…

It’s December 23, and Clara Dunphy is running around Oxford Street like a chicken with its head cut off trying to pick up “a few last-minute bits and bobs.” Despite the frenzy, the twice-divorced mother of three loves Christmas and always wants to make it perfect—a challenge even in the best of times but particularly when “family” means an extended network of in-laws, out-laws, ex-stepfathers, and hangers-on totaling sixteen. Is the madness of Christmas really worth it?

Clara is a witty, blackly funny everywoman who will win over anyone who has ever longed to shut out the holidays with “a giant martini…and some olives.”

Reviews

“Riotously high in laughs and glamour. I defy a festive grump not to be cheered by it.”

“Comfort and Joy, the third novel by India Knight, is in love with Christmas, and all its glorious Technicolor traditions…She writes sensitively and authoritatively about the tracery of emotional tightropes surrounding a festive celebration.”

“Laugh-out-loud funny…Perfect for snuggling up with over the Christmas holidays.”

“A wickedly funny, painfully honest look at families, festivities, and romantic love.”
