Five Gold Rings (ebook)

Christmas isn’t cancelled… it’s complicated.

In this smart, irreverent holiday collection from Mo Fanning, Christmas takes centre stage — but rarely behaves.

A world ruled by festive efficiency unravels in a riot of rebellion (and cheese).
Neighbours wage a glitter-soaked war for the most garish light display.
A Christmas Eve locksmith is haunted by the lives she unlocks.
Loneliness is battled with reindeer-slipper defiance — and sometimes terrible decisions.

Witty, subversive and surprisingly heart-warming, Five Gold Rings unwraps the messy reality behind the tinsel: grief, desire, class, queer love, rivalry, redemption — and a stubborn belief that even the worst December can still deliver a miracle.

For readers of quirky, contemporary Christmas fiction who prefer their sentiment earned and their humour a little wicked.
