Story
Some secrets are too devastating to be told...When Natalie Moore is killed in a freak accident in France, her mother - the very poised and elegant Jessica - knows instinctively there is more to it. However, Natalie's father - the glamorous, high-flying Charlie - is so paralysed by the horror of losing his daughter that he refuses even to discuss his wife's suspicions. In the end, when their marriage is rocked by yet another terrible shock, Jessica decides to go back to France alone in search of some answers. When she gets to the idyllic vineyard in the heart of Burgundy, she soon finds a great deal more than she was expecting in a love that is totally forbidden and a truth that will almost certainly devastate her life. Set during one long hot summer in a sleepy world of wine, food and romance, "A French Affair" is a deeply sensual and passionate story of love, resistance, loyalty and betrayal.

Emotional story
Where does Never Say Goodbye rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A good story weaved around two families which brought up lots of emotional issues. At times it felt a little slow, but gently the story evolves and it makes you ponder how you would deal with the situations facing them.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Never Say Goodbye?
The wedding in Belle's house was such a happy occasion, beautifully written about bringing all of the key people together in a celebration.
What does Julia Franklin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Listening to the book made you feel like a freind was telling you their own situation and the characters are very much alive.
Any additional comments?
A very good listen, took me awhile initially to fit everyone together, but persevere because it's worth it!
