A wonderful short story about the power of the here and now - by the author of the bestseller "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry." Binny has exactly five hours left to prepare for the holidays. She doesn't feel festive at all: it's pouring rain, her house is falling apart, and the town is completely overcrowded. And it's all, all Oliver's fault. To avoid making small talk with an acquaintance, Binny escapes into a shop she would normally never enter. There, she discovers an unexpected place filled with peace, comfort, and kindness - wrapped in a hint of lemon scent.
