Summary

It's never too late to live the dream...

'Unputdownable, a heart-warming story of love, family and friendship in the glorious south of France. What’s not to love!' Lucy Coleman

Carla Sullivan’s 50th birthday is fast approaching when her whole world is turned upside down. Discovering her feckless husband is having yet another affair and following her mother’s death, she is in need of an escape. Finding an envelope addressed to her mother’s estranged sister Josette in the South of France gives Carla the perfect plan.

Seizing the moment, she packs her bags and heads to Antibes to seek out the enigma known as Tante Josette. But as the two women begin to forge a tentative relationship, family secrets start to unravel, forcing Carla to question her life as she has always known it.

A heart-warming tale on the beautiful French Riviera, which will keep you guessing. Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.

Good story, narrator annoying

It took a while to get into this one. I found the narrators voice annoying which didn’t help. Once I got into it I persevered and made it to the end. Storyline was good ,a few twists , ending as expected.

Good story spoilt by atrocious accents

The plot and twists are good but unless you have a smattering of French one can be put off - especially at the beginning. For me the Scottish and Italian accents spoiled the narration as they were appalling. I was well into the book before I realised Gordon was Scottish!
