Meet Emma Johnson. Emma has always loved Christmas and, with husband George, is planning a huge family reunion in a beautiful rented house complete with roaring fires, carols, and juicy turkeys. Trouble is, her family wishes are very different from hers.
Take George’s brother, Richard. Married to disenchanted Lorna, the couple is at odds on most things, and this includes Christmas.
As for George’s second brother, Jack, he is married to Jill. Unlike their innocent nursery-rhyme name connection, this is a couple with secrets, plans, and very little love between them.
Mix this with the family's disenchanted offspring, an ex wife, a lover of yesteryear, a mother with a touch of Alzheimer’s, and the scene is set for a Christmas reunion like no other.

Keep It In The Family eBook Laurent Saletto Reviews
This is a witty British comedy that tells the trials and tribulations of trying to plan the "perfect Christmas". We all feel extra stress at this busy time of year, and this book helps put it in perspective. If you think you have a difficult family to deal with, you'll see it's nothing compared to the family in this book.
This would be a great Christmas gift for a little light-hearted Christmas relief.
A bomb fuse in a Christmas pudding makes for a promising novel, doesn't it? Fortunately, the tale lives up to the promise.
There's nothing like a dysfunctional family to make you realise how wonderfully normal your own is, despite your misgivings! And the Johnson family is as dysfunctional as it gets three brothers with three very different wives, an ex-wife, an assortment of children and grandchildren, a stepmother and a stepsister. Doesn't sound very dysfunctional, does it? But stepmother Mimi has Alzheimer's, wife Jill is a first-class bitch, ex-wife Sandra is too tolerant for her own good, the children vary from uncaring to practically disowning. And then there's the lovely Emma, wife of George, together a happy, generous couple who want to make Christmas a little bit different and enjoyable for everyone by renting a big old house to accommodate the whole of the clan.
It sounds good on paper. But the Johnson family under one roof is not a good idea. There are secrets, hidden agendas, and resentments. Can this have a good ending?
The characters in this were very well conceived, and I found myself being drawn in to each of their lives, whether it was a happy one, a disenchanted one, or a resigned one. My favourite had to be Mimi, whose condition enabled her to be able to say what she wanted, when she wanted, without fear of being reprimanded. She had some wonderful one-liners. The characters were so well portrayed, I almost hate to wonder if the author based them on real people! And you do care for them all, even the less likeable ones...or at least you are compelled to find out how they fare.
This is light-hearted and humorous, but it's also a very careful study of manners and behaviour. I really enjoyed it.
A Christmas tale told with humour and insight right for winter evening reading. Those lacking families can rejoice for once!
it was ok, I have read better. This was one crazy family. I did not like how it left you hanging in the end.
