A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS: A NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 06830013B63988

English Summary/英文概要： Known for her heartwarming observations of family life, New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer showcases her beloved Nantucket’s snowy off-season in this emotionally gratifying and utterly entertaining story.

Holidays on this Massachusetts island are nothing short of magical, from the jolly decorations on the Brant Point lighthouse to the much anticipated Christmas Stroll, in which merrymakers promenade through quaint streets adorned with Yuletide cheer. The season’s wonderful traditions are much loved by Nicole Somerset, new to Nantucket and recently married to a handsome former attorney. Their home is already full of enticing scents of pine, baking spices, and homemade pie.

But the warm, festive mood is soon tempered by Nicole’s chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who arrives without a hint of holiday spirit. Determined to keep her stepmother at arms’ length—or, better yet, out of the picture altogether—Kennedy schemes to sabotage Nicole’s holiday preparations. Nicole, however, is not about to let anyone or anything tarnish her first Christmas with her new husband.

Nancy Thayer’s wonderful tale reminds us that this is the season of miracles. Before the gifts are unwrapped, surprise visitors appear, and holiday joy comes to all, both naughty and nice.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《纽约时报》畅销书作家南茜•塔耶一直以来都因其对于家庭生活观察的柔软视角而为大众所熟知。在本书中，她将再次用一个满怀感激之情与乐趣的故事为我们展示其对于楠塔基特岛的深深爱恋。

在这个马萨诸塞州的小岛上，节日的时光简直就是梦幻而神奇的。在灯塔里准备圣诞的欢乐时光，白雪皑皑的旅游淡季时光，期待已久的圣诞漫步，狂欢的人群沿着充满圣诞气息的古雅小街悠闲踱步。在这里，欢快的节日气氛对于尼柯拉•萨默赛特而言更是全新的，因为她不久前刚刚嫁给了楠塔基特岛上英俊潇洒的前律师。他们的家中弥漫着松柏、烘焙以及自制馅饼的迷人香气。

然而这温暖的节日气氛很快就将被尼柯拉不太友好的继女肯尼蒂打破了。肯尼蒂可是秉持着节日的精神有备而来的，她决意要远离自己的继母，或者说，最好能够将她排除在外---她计划着毁坏尼柯拉为节日所作出的精心准备。但尼柯拉是绝不会允许任何人或任何事物阻碍与破坏她与新婚丈夫一起度过的第一个圣诞节的。

这一来自南茜•塔耶的精彩故事不由得让我们再次忆起圣诞原本便是一个充满着奇迹的季节。越是礼物尚未拆封之时，意外之客越是会突然造访，节日气氛飙升至最顶峰，既淘气，又美妙。(DC)
