A perennial classic, THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Jennifer Johnston is the story of of love, legacy, and coming to terms with death
It is difficult to convey the marvellous quality of this bookConstance Keating is a major fictional portrait, her death finally noble -- Martyn Goff * Daily Telegraph *
The ending brings more than a lump to the throat. It is magnificent * Daily Express *
She is a skilful writer, using short flashbacks... in such a way that each page widens the picture. You start with a solitary woman, dying alone; you finish with a past, a history, great tenderness and no sentimentality -- Caroline Moorhead * Spectator *
A most distinguished novel * Irish Press *
