About this listen

Everyone deserves a second chance...right?

Run by sisters Rebecca and Delphine, Villa Sesame is a popular venue for small intimate weddings on the sparkling French Riviera. Beautiful terraces and a horizon pool overlooking the Mediterranean, a setting where dreams come true.

When recently widowed Delphine unexpectedly announces her desire to retire and live a different life, Rebecca feels her own life could be slipping into free fall.

How can she possibly carry on with the business without her sister at her side?

Could this be the beginning of the end for Villa Sésame and Rebecca’s life as she knows it?

As the guests gather for the June wedding of Freya and Marcus, Freya’s two childhood friends bring their own problems to the villa and cousin Verity has her own agenda.

But it's the arrival of a certain guest who throws Rebecca’s whole world into turmoil and she finds herself asking the question, where do I go from here?

Escape to the Villa in the South of France with top-10 international best-selling author Jennifer Bohnet, for an uplifting story of family, love and second chances.

Lovely uplifting story, with a great cast of characters that intermingle well. An easy to follow narrative, love how the characters slowly ease their stories out, also living very far away also enjoyed the mentions of my home county of Devon, and was able to well picture Dittisham and Dartmouth with the local hotels mentioned in my head. I also greatly enjoy the narrator, not overacting the story but telling it, like I feel a good audio book should be.

Truly delightful

This was such a lovely story. It was gentle with a touch of drama, set against the beautiful backdrop of the French Riviera. The majority of the cast were near my age group, and the main leads, sisters Rebecca and Delphine, run the very popular Villa Sesame. They specialise in delivering intimate weddings, and the descriptions of the venue overlooking the Mediterranean sounded idyllic.

Delphine is thinking of retiring mainly due to the recent loss of her beloved husband. She has plans to travel, but she is concerned about what it would mean for her sister.

Rebecca, on the other hand, has a son who has no idea who his father is. Rebecca knows far too well who he is. They spent a weekend together and lost touch. She often wonders what if…

They have a wedding planned, a remarriage, and there will be a lot of catching up to do as they are old friends. Rebecca gets the shock of her life when something happens that will change her life. This will mean facing up to things and a huge secret being revealed that will affect more than herself.

I will stop there as the cast of characters are great, with one prickly person, but this time will mean change for them all.

A real lovely heartwarming story in a beautiful place, South of France. The narrator was perfect too. I was submerged into the sorry immediately, perfectly written, perfectly read. Off to find another book by both writer and narrator.

Wonderful

Slow to get into and not entirely believable characters. Found the narration made me really dislike certain characters. Disappointing

Meh!
