Summary

 Escape to beautiful Provence with the dazzlingly romantic new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Veronica Henry!

'Gorgeously romantic, sweet as French pastries and the perfect read!' MILLY JOHNSON

'A delight from start to finish, being swept away to Provence, like sipping wine on lazy summer days, a perfect summer read' CAROL KIRKWOOD

'Utterly enchanting! I was spellbound from the very first page. A gloriously romantic read!' HEIDI SWAIN

One night to fall in love.
One summer to change everything...

Over the last few months, Connie's whole world has fallen apart. Her husband's run off with an older woman, the magazine she works for has gone bust and she's having to sell the family home. So when her beloved godmother, Lismay, begs her to help run the beautiful Château Villette, it couldn't come at a better time...

No one knows the château quite like Connie. She spent a blissful summer there in her twenties, learning to cook delicious French food for the guests, ironing the lavender-scented sheets - and trying to resist the very handsome neighbour, Remy.

As soon as she arrives, it's clear that the château is close to crumbling and Connie knows she's going to have her work cut out. Could it be the fresh start she didn't even know she needed - and will she find a way to save the château, before it's too late?

Loved the narration, had the feeling of being right in it. Enthralling story, couldn’t put it down.

Lovely family generational drama

I love Veronica Henry’s writing. It’s top drawer ‘chic lit’ . Although light reading it is written beautifully and clearly researched well. Hurry up and write another!!!

As fabulous as ever

I did enjoy this, probablty because I moved to France 17 years ago and was in the catering business before that could relate to some of the events. The cooking was actually quite funny as there is no way she would have got away with doing all that for a weekend party but so what.
Thoroughly predictable storyline, but again what you would expect from a story of this genre.
The narrator's french was abit effete bt it didn't detract too much and the dealings with french contractors risable, but some of it was quite good. Yes I'll probably even listen to it again

Strangely enjoyable.

Good story and well written as you’d expect from Veronica Henry. If I’m honest, I didn’t like it nearly as much as her previous novels. The characters, although likeable, felt a little too privileged at times which spoilt it for me a bit and I did inwardly sign at times! I suppose anyone who owns a chateau would be though! If I could would have given it 3.5 stars. Overall a light listen but not one I’d listen to again.

Easy rom-com listen

I loved this book. I always enjoy Veronica Henry's books but I think this has been my favourite so far.
I loved the characters. I loved the way the story was set in both the past and present day. I found myself wanting to listen to this book at every opportunity.

Lovely escapism
