About this listen

'Chase your dreams and follow your heart! I loved it!' Heidi Swain

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?

Escape to France with this warm, witty romantic listen perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jennifer Bohnet and Debbie Macomber.

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.

Perfect feel good fun

Storyline was OK but found heroine bit one dimensional - still nice relaxed read/listen when you want to switch off
