Let the Bells Ring Out

Seven people, one snowdrift and a Christmas stuck on board a luxury sleeper train. This festive season getting away from it all takes on a new meaningâ¦

The Yorkshire Belle is a glamorous steam train all decked out for an escapist festive getaway. It is not supposed to be where a group of people, all trying to get to their destinations for the holidays, will spend their Christmas. 

Seven people, each with their own hopes and dreams, secrets and sorrows, board the train as strangers, but as the snow keeps falling and they realise they are going nowhere fast, they are forced to slow down and embrace the present.

This Christmas on board the Yorkshire Belle, will the friendships they make change their lives forever?

''Milly is the most wonderful, life-affirming writer about women''s lives, love and friendship; her books are a joy.'' JENNY COLGAN

âReal women, real life, real feeling, Milly brings it all.â CATHY BRAMLEY

''Milly writes with a huge heart about the challenges women face, particularly in later life. Her wisdom shines through, as does her humour: no-one can bring you from tears to smiles more quickly. Her books are warm, funny and real, and her stories celebrate triumph over adversity, the power of love, and the importance of friendship. Her heroines are down to earth yet reach for the sky and are truly inspirational, like Milly herself. She makes the world a better place.'' VERONICA HENRY
