Belinda Marshall’s idyllic teenage life in Brittany, France, fell apart when her parents dramatically separated and her mother took her back to England.
Fast forward thirty-five years when Belinda’s world is once again turned upside down.
It’s the week before Christmas and Belinda's employer 'surprises’ her by asking for her help to rejuvenate their latest investment, a run-down campsite in Brittany.
Memories and anxieties that had lain dormant for years suddenly begin to resurface.
As secrets from a lost life threaten to overwhelm her, there is a realisation that maybe she wasn’t told the whole truth by her mother all those years ago.
Can Belinda reconcile her emotions and find happiness once more in the place she so loved and called home?

Beautifully crafted characters. Easy story-line with just enough intrigue to keep the story bubbling along. Very easy to listen to more than once. I have enjoyed everything that Jennifer Bohnet has put on audible.

Enjoyable escapism

I had never listened to a story by Jennifer Bohnet before. It was a very enjoyable thing to listen to while painting my watercolour in the lush Italian landscape. I do know Brittany well enough too to imagine the scenes set there. The narration was very good, all the French accents were convincing. I will get another book by here soon. Thank you.

Escapist and lovely

Another great listen by Jennifer Bohnet - now I am used to the narrator I think she brings the characters to life. Would recommend to anyone who wants a book that is not too complex yet thoroughly enjoyable.

Gentle easy listening

The characters in this novel are well developed. Belinda's family secrets form an interesting sub plot to the camp site's restoration, while romance slowly develops in the lives of good friends, Belinda and Fern. Very enjoyable.

Plenty of romance and the unravelling of family secrets
