The uplifting escapist read from the author of Top 10 bestseller, A Year at the French Farmhouse. It was just supposed to be a holiday, but could it become the second chance she didn't know she needed...?

Life isn’t quite going as planned for Katy. With her only daughter living in Australia and a husband who has asked for a break, she is suddenly at a loss.

Her best friends, Sam, Vicky and Ivy have always been there for her through thick and thin and they’re not about to leave her all alone now. Whisking her away to glorious France for a last minute retreat is the perfect escape, and just what Katy needs to get her life back under control.

As Katy unwinds in the beautiful French countryside, surrounded by her friends, the pain of her past slowly begins to melt away under the warm summer sun. Will this reset give Katy a new lease on life and help her win back her husband? Or could there be a new love on the horizon where she least expects it?

Escape to the French countryside this summer with top 10 bestseller Gillian Harvey, for the perfect uplifting second chances romance.

Praise for Gillian Harvey:

'As delightful as it is moving – a true gem of a novel... enchanting, wise and wonderfully uplifting' Isabelle Broom

'Uplifting, feel-good and hilarious... for anyone who has ever had their heart broken. This is escapism at its best. Every page felt like I was on holiday with my best friends. Gillian has done it again!' Tim Ewins

'A funny, moving and wonderful story about love and second chances... A hymn to friendship... I was cheering Katy on from the very first page' Nicola Gill

‘There’s nothing like a book where the main character gets to change her life dramatically to get my attention!… Warm and wonderful… Really relatable and lovely and made me want to jump right in… Definitely an uplifting, heartwarming, escapist novel to be read with a DO NOT DISTURB sign, because once you start that very first page, you are not going to want to put it down’ Kim Nash

'Gillian Harvey has created a love letter to France. Her descriptions of the local village and the abandoned cottage had me almost able to smell the pastries in the local boulangerie' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
