'Is a change as good
as a rest?
When married couple
Fern and Aiden have a windfall, their reactions could not be more different.
While Fern is content to pay off their mortgage and build a nest egg before
starting a family, her husband is set on traveling the world.
Fern’s not much of a
back-packer so, before she knows it, the idea of a ‘marriage gap year’ takes
shape. And, as Aiden heads off to the wilds of Australia, Fern chooses the more
restful Provence for her year out.
Set amidst the
glorious French scenery, Château de Vernon offers a retreat from the hustle and
bustle of normal life, and Fern agrees to help out in return for painting
lessons from the owner – renowned, but rather troubled, painter Nico.
As their year
unfolds in very different ways, will the time apart transform their marriage,
or will it drive Fern and Aiden even further apart…
Let Lucy Coleman
whisk you off on a heart-warming, sun-drenched and magical French adventure.'
So the main stars of this story are Fern, Aiden and Nico who are each on a journey that can end in a multiple of ways. Now this story is very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed every word. It was easy to get into and this story really grips your attention. All the descriptions were beautiful in this book, to the point that I feel like I need to now book a holiday to Provence.
