Review for The Nutcracker Bride by Margaret Brownley

  
Rating; 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a Christmas Story let alone a Historical Fiction by Margaret so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say THIS on is my favorite by far in this Novella series. 

The research and facts she included in this story was so amazing to learn about. I love that there was history of why People would put Nutcrackers in their windows in Germany and the decendents kept doing that through the late 1880s. I also loved how there were 2 German Cookie Recipes featured in this book too. The First one i probably wont make cause im not a fan of Licorice tastes but the second one i definately will. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Lucy was definately my favorite. I loved how she continued to care for her Grandfather long after her  Grandma passed on and continued to make Nutcrackers while running a bakery out of their home. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Kansas 1880 especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book about a Nutcracker and Bakery Shop!! Can't wait to read more by Margaret in the future!!
