Christmas in Manhattan

Caplin Julie

Julie Caplin is the pseudonym of the British author of the bestselling Romantic Escapes series. She's addicted to travel and good food. She is constantly trying to track down the perfect gin and is unhealthily picky about glasses, tonics and garnishes. In between gin tastings, she wrote her first novel, Cafe in Copenhagen, which launched her international success. As a PR director, she spent several years travelling around Europe, taking top food and drink journalists on journalistic excursions (so-called business trips) to experience the gastronomic delights of the world's most diverse cities. And these places became the inspiration for her other books, which were published in this order: A cafe in Copenhagen, Brooklyn Bakery, A patisserie in Paris, Beach in Croatia, Hotel in Iceland, Teahouse in Tokyo, Cottage in Switzerland, A house in Ireland, A Castle in Scotland and Vineyards in France (the novels are also available as audiobooks). The latest is the new Villa in Italy. She has visited the Czech Republic several times and on that occasion she was enchanted by Prague, which is why her upcoming book will be set here.
