Title: A French Adventure
All NEW from bestselling escapist fiction author Jennifer Bohnet - let her whisk you away to the South of France
When your old life ceases to exist, it’s time to build a new one…
It’s early summer on the French Riviera when Vivienne Wilson arrives for a one-woman writers’ retreat after her philandering husband informs her that their 30-year marriage is over.
There to collect the shell-shocked Vivienne is recently widowed Maxine Zonszain, who is struggling to come to terms with her empty life following the sudden death of her husband.
Florist extraordinaire, Olivia Murray, shares the Villa that Vivienne is renting. She’s pretty content with life - but longs to meet ‘The One’.
Life under the summer sun in Antibes becomes a challenging time for all three women. Secrets are shared, problems are halved as they forge new and unexpected friendships and embark on new adventures.
Sometimes life’s surprises turn out to be unwanted but just sometimes the ‘new normal’ makes for a happier life than the one lost.
A uplifting tale of friendship and second chances. Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.
It is always lovely to be back in the South of France, especially in Jennifer Bohnet's clearly beloved Antibes area.
Having read so many of this author's books by now, i really feel as though I would be right at home on the French Riviera, just from all of her stories, settings and the fact that in the case of this book we get some trips up and down this bit of coast line. Including Monaco somewhere I really would love to visit.
We have three leading ladies, Maxine who is adjusting to life as a widow, Olivia who is delighted her old friend is back in town, and Vivienne who at the airport before she flew to France for her two month writing retreat, discovers her husband is leaving her.
I really enjoyed getting to know all three women, and their families, and seeing how they developed over the course of the book, as new friendships are formed.
I was totally hooked on this book and found it to be a really fast read, that was a joy to devour while sitting in my garden.
I'm always a fan of a book from this author and this was definitely right up there with her best. Very enjoyable.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
