A Christmas Posy

In a quiet Parisian salon on a dim New Year’s Eve, two young sisters—Sylvia and Molly—navigate the hush that follows their beloved grandmother’s passing. Their aunt, cloaked in mourning, steps out into the chilly street, leaving the girls to comfort each other with whispered hopes and the simple comforts of tea and shared memories. As snow drifts past the balcony, the twins cling to the promise that the coming year might bring brighter days and the return of familiar faces.

The tale unfolds with gentle humor and tender observation, punctuated by charming illustrations that capture the era’s delicate details. Through playful banter and heartfelt embraces, the story explores how children find resilience in small rituals, the warmth of sibling love, and the quiet optimism that a new season can mend a grieving heart. Listeners will be drawn into the softly lit world of Victorian Christmas, feeling the hush of winter and the bright flicker of hope that lies just beyond the doorway.
