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.

A Pleasant and Easy Read

A captivating story that catapults you into the French Riveria surrounded by empathetic and kind characters. As family issues and secrets unravel, the love and support demonstrated, is indeed heartwarming, however, when you think, it can't get any worse, it does. A nice holiday or last thing at night read.

Evocative

Beautiful setting, made me want to go on holiday, story was sweet but the characterisation from the narrator was dire - cod French & Italian accents all but ruined this sadly.

Villa of sun and Secrets

I enjoyed this book it make me want to visit France in a Villa. I am glad Carla left her husband for cheering for a new life in France. The book just ended I wanted maybe a wedding in an epilogue.

A really enjoyable listen

I really enjoyed the story and how the characters developed. The description of the Villa and surrounding areas really made me feel like I was there. This is the 2nd book by this author that I have listened to and I really like her writing style.
