'Chase your dreams and follow your heart! I loved it!' Heidi Swain Escape to France with this warm, witty romantic read. After ten years of loyal service Lily Butterworth has been made redundant. Like any clever woman, she knows the cure to redundancy is a little too much wine and her best friend. Only the next morning, Lily has more than a hangover . . . she has a whole new house in France! Seeing this as an opportunity instead of a disaster, shes excited about finally moving to France, just as she and her husband always dreamed of. However, Lily is in for another surprise. Despite planning to move there for over 20 years, her husband never actually intended to go. So begins a year in France, alone, renovating the gorgeous old farmhouse that is held together by wallpaper and wishes. Will a year at the French farmhouse be just what Lily needs? Or could it be the previous owner, Frederique, that is the answer to Lilys dreams? 'A gorgeous escapist story of second chances. I loved it Alex Brown 'Unputdownable. A Year At The French Farmhouse is the ultimate feel good novel. I was right there with the characters, soaking up the atmosphere, rooting for Lily and willing for everything to turn out right.' Paula Greenlees The perfect feel-good read. Uplifting, touching and really quite hilarious. Its like going on holiday without leaving the house Tim Ewins

This was a delightful read, although I wanted to strangle her husband most of the way. Lily lost her job and decided to move up her dream of moving to the country in France. Her husband said “no” and despite his promises, would never be willing to do it. Lily left anyway and her adventure began, with her hoping her husband would join her.
