Publisher's Summary
Mia and Ben, an Australian couple in their early 30s, have relinquished one dream and embraced another, selling their Sydney flat and purchasing an old yellow house in the picturesque village of Cordes-sur-Ciel in South-West France.
They soon meet sophisticated neighbours Dominic and Susannah, a British couple in their 60s who welcome them warmly but whose own relationship is in crisis.
Mia and Ben are immediately star-struck and impressed by their lavish hospitality. However, things with Dominic and Susannah are not what they first seem.

Enjoyable read
I thought the narration was really well done. It would not be easy trying to simulate British expats in France as well as Australians - particularly Australians attempting to learn French (which was spot-on I'm sorry to say). The story was a good one. My only slight problem was that it climaxed rather late in the book and then the wrap-up was a bit too quick and neat. Overall I enjoyed the book but it's not one I'm going to tell my friends is a 'must read' (or 'must listen' in this case).

Just delightful
A dark family comedy that is as satisfying as the cassoulets described in the story. Delicious!
