Summary

After ten years of loyal service Lily Butterworth has been made redundant. Like any clever woman, she knows the cure to redundancy is a little too much wine and her best friend.

Only the next morning, Lily has more than a hangover...she has a whole new house – in France!

Seeing this as an opportunity instead of a disaster, she’s excited about finally moving to France, just as she and her husband always dreamed of. However, Lily is in for another surprise. Despite planning to move there for over 20 years, her husband never actually intended to go.

So begins a year in France, alone, renovating the gorgeous old farmhouse that is held together by wallpaper and wishes.

Will a year at the French farmhouse be just what Lily needs? Or could it be the previous owner, Frederique, that is the answer to Lily’s dreams?

Perfect feel good fun

So much of this story resonated with my own it had me laughing aloud. Lily makes the move and her trials are very familiar. The will-she wont-she questions are answered and the ending was .. oops, no spoilers. Altogether great fun and a great listen.

Ridiculous

Could have been a fantastic story but I couldn’t get over the pathetic and ridiculous protagonist. Such a waste!
