A feel-good escapist novel about friendship, love and new beginnings. Perfect for fans of Jo Thomas, Cathy Bramley and Veronica Henry.

Nicole and her friends are living the dream. No dull, tedious retirement for them - instead the nine friends have clubbed together to purchase a magnificent (if crumbling) chateau in Normandy. And after three years of shared dinners, fine wine and gorgeous scenery, they have finally settled into a routine. True, not everything has gone to plan. They're one older resident down - and several younger residents up. Will and Fizz's new baby, Louis, fills the house with life, and Nicole's daughter Maddie and her family have been welcomed into the fold.

But money for the upkeep of the chateau soon runs low and the make-shift family need to come up with a plan to keep their dream on track. They decide to set up as a B&B and soon the arrival of visitors brings a welcome new dynamic to their community. One particular guest, the charming and intriguing artist Apolline, draws them all in - with unexpected consequences.

How long can they keep living la vie en rose? And will fresh starts bring new drama in life and love?

A feel-good escapist novel about friendship, love and new beginnings. Perfect for fans of Jo Thomas, Cathy Bramley and Veronica Henry.
