Christmas At Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
She took her family to Carningford to see Santa’s grotto and the lights, bought Nintendo games and princess dolls and a huge inflatable Spiderman. “We’re going to eat at Peak House,” she announced to Stephen in passing. Stephen was marking and wasn’t really concentrating on her tone. “But Mother normally . . .” “I don’t care what your mother is doing,” she said. “I’m going to be at Peak House with my mother.” “Okay,” said Stephen. “That sounds fine.” He returned to his marking. “Hey,” he said a few minutes later. “Are you okay?” But Rosie had already gone upstairs to bed. “ALL RIGHT,” SAID Stephen. “Once more.” The class looked up at him obediently. It was still amazing to him, he found, how much he enjoyed his job. Throwing himself into it was just about the best remedy for physical and mental pain that he knew.
