'Beautifully written, comforting and utterly uplifting, Lucy Coleman’s stories are the perfect tonic when life is a little grey.' Holly Martin

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....

Really enjoyed listening to this book it was a lovely story beautifully written and narrated.

Definitely one to keep in my Audio Library. I really do wish that all similar books ended like this.

After getting to know all the characters it was awesome hearing what happened to them at the end.

Thank you for the enjoyment that it gave to me, 😚 👍 👏

Glad I listened to this. wanted to finish within the day. A pleasurable listen. Not overtly romantic but compelling and relatable.

Fragrant Provence

A beautiful story overall but not the blissful uplifting summer read i was expecting. A bit heavy, sad and solemn at times but with some lovely moments as well. Loved the setting in France and the beautiful scenery. Lovely love story with a happy ending despite everything. Would i read it again? no...
Narration was ok...but felt a little bit rushed at times and some of the characters did not seem convincing.

beautiful yet challenging at times
