'Unputdownable, a heart-warming story of love, family and friendship in the glorious south of France. What’s not to love!' Lucy Coleman
Carla Sullivan’s 50th birthday is fast approaching when her whole world is turned upside down. Discovering her feckless husband is having yet another affair and following her mother’s death, she is in need of an escape. Finding an envelope addressed to her mother’s estranged sister Josette in the South of France gives Carla the perfect plan.
Seizing the moment, she packs her bags and heads to Antibes to seek out the enigma known as Tante Josette. But as the two women begin to forge a tentative relationship, family secrets start to unravel, forcing Carla to question her life as she has always known it.
A heart-warming tale on the beautiful French Riviera, which will keep you guessing. Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.

Very enjoyable
This is the second book I’ve read/listened to by this author. (The other was Riviera Retreat which was also very good) I really enjoyed the story. Wish I could say that I’ve only ever read about such bitter vindictive characters as the old grandmother sadly some in my immediate family is even worse than she was however the main message in the story I think is one of forgiveness and moving forward and not letting the past ruin the present. Great book. I’m sure I’ll be rereading it at some point.

I liked it
I enjoyed this book - a few twists and turns - and even prompted me to ‘Google map’ where they were doing their day trips. Bring on international travel again - this made me want to jump on a plane to France!

the story dint do much for me
the story is nice. it's an easy to follow story.
the Narrator tried to do a French- English accent, I have no idea why it was so sing-songy! is that how French speak English ( iv never heard it among my friends) after a point it got so annoying.
but the voice impressions and emotions were very nice and I felt the story alot more. so thanks to the narrator for that. .

Escapism on the French Riviera
I loved this involved family story set on the French Riviera. It was a perfect feel good escape from a tedious life in lockdown during the covid pandemic.
Jennifer Bohnet threw in just enough French to indulge my passsion for the French language and jogged my memories of travel in the south of France.

Great Read
Not the type of novel I would normal listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed it, loved the setting, characters and descriptions of the French Riviera. The narrator was great. I’ll look for further books by this author.

Heartwarming book
Absolutely loved this book! I found myself wanting more as the book went along, to see the cruel lengths that Amelia went to, to punish not only Josette but Carla as well and inflicted pain on others was astonishing. If you’re after a book with heartache, laughter and a HEA then this book is for you. The Narrator done an outstanding job in bringing life to this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
