CHRISTMAS AT GLITTER PEAK LODGE

KJERSTI HERLAND JOHNSEN

Christmas at Glitter Peak Lodge by Kjersti HerlandJohnsen is an intriguing story in a foreign location. The novel centers around a woman named Ingrid and her grandmother, both in the present day and in the past. In the present day, a young woman learns to deal with life and how difficult it can be. What I found interesting about this book was that each chapter was written as if it were a day in December leading up to Christmas, along with the unique customs of a foreign country in Northern Europe. We come across a mystery about a missing girl from the 1960s and criminal activity at a lodge called Glitter Peak. Ingrid, the lodge proprietor, is trying to stay in business while keeping the bankruptcy attorneys away from her door. And preserve her proud family heritage. During the book, we learn about the accident that brought Ingrid back home to Norway and Glitter Peak. The story is a fascinating mystery, offering a look inside a country unfamiliar to most.
