AnnotationIn his first foray into holiday literature, Wally Lamb depicts a 1960s Christmas in his fictional haven of Three Rivers, Connecticut. The action swirls around ten-year-old Felix Funicello, cousin to beach blanket starlet Annette Funicello, as he frantically tries to keep up with distractions such as chores, schoolwork, and duties at his family's lunch counter while his love life officially gets under way. The dual arrival of a substitute teacher from Quebec and a Russian exchange student open Felix's eyes to the wider world and promise to make this a Christmas he will never forget. The author of the #1 "New York Times" bestsellers "She's Come Undone, I Know This Much Is True," and "The Hour I First Believed" offers a Christmas novella that promises to be a holiday bestseller.
