From the bestselling author of Villa of Sun and Secrets.
A sweeping, bittersweet love story amidst the glitz and the glamour of the French Riviera.
Two very different women are starring in their own real-life dramas behind the scenes of the Cannes Film Festival.
Newly in love, Anna Carson returns to the Festival for the first time in nearly 40 years hoping to reconcile her past with her present-day happiness.
Journalist Daisy Harris is looking for a big scoop at her first Festival and is determined to embrace her new single status amongst all the glitz and glamour.
Behind the champagne and parties, secrets from the past are bubbling to the surface and difficult decisions need to be taken.
One thing's for certain - by the end of the Film Festival their lives will have changed forever…
THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
This is a must read novel that I truly had fun getting lost in – this novel transported me to the glitz and glamour of what I imagined the French Riviera was, most especially during the Cannes Film Festival. The story was centered on the stories of two women, Daisy and Anna, who are out in their great adventure, and at the same time we learn about their pasts and how they overcome it. Both these characters were great to read about and I connected with their story lines that made this book hard to put down. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking, but quite an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book for a great escapism read that is full of heart.
AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT:
Jennifer is English, originally from the West Country but now living in the wilds of rural Brittany, France. She's still not sure how she ended up there! The saying 'Life is what happens while you're deciding what to do' is certainly true in her case. She's always written alongside having various jobs: playgroup leader, bookseller, landlady, restauranteur, farmer's wife, secretary/p,a - the list is endless but does provide a rich vein of inspiration for her stories.
For three years she wrote a newspaper column in The South Hams Group of Newspapers (Devon)where she took a wry look at family life. Since living in France it is her fiction that has taken off with hundreds of short stories and several serials published internationally. if you like stories set down on the French Riviera, Antibes, Cannes and Monaco, then take a look at Follow Your Star and Rendezvous in Cannes. Her other books too have passing references to the South of France.
Allergic to housework and gardening she rarely does either but she does like cooking and entertaining and wandering around vide greniers (the French equivalent of flea markets) looking for a bargain or two. Her children currently live in fear of her turning into an ageing hippy and moving to Totnes, Devon.
