It's December of 1990, and Christmas, Hanukkah, and Ramadan all fall at the same time. It's tri-holiday season.
A snowstorm causes a plane travelling from Denver to Toronto to reroute to the small Ontario town of Snow Falls.
Chapters alternate between characters Maryam and Anna, who met on the plane and come with their own baggage (well, not Anna's luggage) for the holidays, and for Maryam's sister's wedding.
I loved the blending of traditions, cultures, and faiths, with charming romance, humour, and found family at the heart of it all. (The Canadianisms were icing on the snowy cake.)
The plane and small town elements reminded me a bit of the Broadway show Come From Away, which added to the heartwarming feels.
Recommended!
