Summary

The hilarious and feel-good novel about escaping the rat race, friendship and new beginnings

When Nicola's husband, Dominic, retires they decide not to spend their days finding hobbies to fill the time until Countdown is on channel 4. Instead, they fulfil their life-long fantasy of buying a house in the French countryside and filling it with their dearest friends. Reliving their youth and spending their children's inheritance.

Joined by seven of their friends they club together to invest in a château in Normandy. Group dinners, fine wine, beautiful scenery - they're living the dream!

But la vie en rose is harder than it first appears. Is there a reason why only teenagers take gap years?

The perfect listen for fans of Jo Thomas, Cathy Bramley and Veronica Henry!

Nice Easy Listen

This is a lovely easy book to listen to. Perfect for a holiday read or when you are doing housework. It made me want to move to a chateau and live a different life. The narrator was very good.

What a disappointment

I loved the first hour or so of this book when it had a semi realistic take on buying a wreck in France but then it disintegrated into romantic non realism. Definitely a Non from me.
