Hi Susan,
Thank you for Barrington Magic and the other books. I have enjoyed very much every one.
Barrington Magic had a special place in my heart. As a six year old growing up in Sydney (1953) to this day I would stake my life on the fact that I saw Santa in the sky over our house. It was so real and still is to this day.
Thank you so very much for your wonderful writing and I am looking forward to the next ones and being able to come to your home and chat to you.
Kind regards
Karen

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your books. Thank you for many hours of “Just one more chapter”.
Looking forward to enjoy reading the books I haven’t read yet.

I'm so happy I purchased this set and have already voraciously read my way through the first five books. I feel as if I'm making new friends and learning their stories, and absolutely love how the characters I've previously met, show up in subsequent books. On top of it all, the Aussieness brings it even closer to my heart. Wonderful series, and I cannot wait to read the rest.

I bought these books for my 96 yr old Mum - she has ploughed through the first 4 of the Barrington Series - she loved them.
Almost ready to buy the next in the series.

I love Susan’s characters, their down to earth realness and the stories are totally believable presented with respect. Love always in the end, just can’t put them down

I re-read One Good Man and Barrington Magic and fell in love with both books, thanks.

Loved it!

Such a delightful end of year surprise, the perfect little treat to curl up and read after the busy Christmas season! Really enjoyed this book and so hoping there will be many more, these loveable characters and magical place has become my favourite series xx

Again, I just loved this one from start to finish. I am already going through withdrawals though as that was the end of barrington. I just want to cry. I need all these people in my life. I fell in love with each and every one through Susan’s brilliant text. Thanks again Susan for sharing your fabulous talent.

Barrington Magic is a warm, heartfelt return to one of my favourite country towns. Christmas is almost here, and little Evie Scott who is “almost six”, is determined to find proof that Santa is real. Her mum Samantha and partner Jamie are doing everything they can to give her the magical Christmas she’s dreaming of, but Evie isn’t the only one hoping for better things.

Young vet Freddy Campbell has finally come home after two difficult years away, knowing she broke Lucas Anderson’s heart and unsure if he’ll ever truly forgive her. After a harrowing time with someone new, she understands the mistakes she’s made and just hopes they can at least be civil. It has been lovely to watch this character evolve from an unlikeable, selfish girl to a mature young woman.

With Barrington struggling through drought, local businesses are doing it tough. Young business owner Hanna Tucker is pushing the Chamber of Commerce to think outside the box to attract visitors and keep the local economy going. When her boyfriend Harry puts his own spin on one of her ideas and announces a new business of his own, the town is set alight with fresh energy and festive spirit. As I read the real town came alive in my mind and made me wish I was there for Christmas.

I love Christmas and I love Barrington, and I’ve enjoyed every book in this series from award-winning author Susan Mackie. I couldn’t love this book more. It’s a beautiful story, and it was so lovely to be back in Barrington catching up with everyone and seeing where their lives are now. The characters feel more like old friends than fictional people on the page.

I especially adored the narration from little Evie throughout this very special story. Her voice adds something new and unique to the book and brings an extra layer of heart and magic.

Barrington Magic is the perfect read to bring some sparkle to the festive season – full of hope, community, and the true spirit of Christmas.

It’s a lovely, simple, and quick read with a strong Christmas feeling. I had Christmas music playing as I read, and it added a lovely holiday feeling.

The story is set in Barrington one year after One Good Man. Little Evie, who is almost six, wants proof that Santa is real. Her mum, Samantha, and her partner Jamie want to make sure Evie has her first truly magical Christmas.

There are also other emotional stories happening in the town. Frederica comes home after two years, hoping she and Lucas can at least be friendly after their breakup. The drought is hurting local businesses, and everyone in Barrington is trying to keep things going.

My favourite moment in the book was when they read the letter to Santa. It was such a simple scene, but it made me teary because it felt real and very touching. Sometimes, the smallest moments are the most powerful.

Barrington Magic is a perfect short read for the holiday season.

Loved the book.

Amazing Aussie author who stories wrap around your heart
