SINOPSE
Anne Perry’s "vastly entertaining" (The Star-Ledger) holiday novels are "as delicious as mince pie and plum pudding" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). A Christmas Hope is just as delectable—the gripping story of an unforgettable battle between goodness and evil in Victorian London—and a lonely woman’s search for meaning in her life.
Although she lacks for nothing, Claudine Burroughs dreads the holiday season for forcing her to face how empty her life has become. She no longer expects closeness with her coldly ambitious husband, and she has nothing in common with their circle of wealthy, status-minded friends. The only time she is remotely happy is when she volunteers at a woman’s clinic—a job her husband strongly disapproves of. Then, at a glittering yuletide gala, she meets the charming poet Dai Tregarron and finds her spirits lifted. But scarcely an hour later, the charismatic Dai is enmeshed in a nightmare—accused of killing a young streetwalker who had been smuggled into the party.
Even though she suspects that an upper-class clique is quickly closing ranks to protect the real killer, Claudine vows to do her utmost for Dai. But it seems that hypocritical London society would rather send an innocent poet to the gallows than expose the shocking truth about one of their own.
Nevertheless, it’s the season of miracles and Claudine finally sees a glimmer of hope—not only for Dai but for a young woman she befriends who is teetering on the brink of a lifetime of unhappiness. Anne Perry’s heartwarming new holiday novel is a celebration of courage, faith, and love for all seasons.

SOBRE O AUTOR
Anne Perry
Anne Perry nasce em Outubro de 1938 em Londres e viveu no estrangeiro durante alguns anos, antes de se instalar na sua actual casa em Portahomack, na Escócia.
É considerada uma das mais conceituadas escritoras da literatura policial das últimas décadas. No centro das suas histórias encontra-se a Inglaterra vitoriana, fechada como um casulo, num conjunto de rígidas regras de conduta social.
Escreve duas séries distintas, uma protagonizada por Thomas Pitt, um detective da polícia de origem social modesta, e por Charlotte, uma jovem de boas famílias, e a outra pelo detective amnésico William Monk. Ambas as séries são inspiradas em personalidades da época e os casos em que os detectives se envolvem conservam reminiscências de crimes realmente acontecidos.
Anne Perry desvenda-nos, de forma magistral, todo o complexo universo vitoriano.
