'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....

I truly loved this book, the interwoven stories of various characters gave depth and Lucy Coleman’s descriptions are always captivating. And as always Lucy Scott does a phenomenal job narrating, her voice is soothing, and her accents really help you feel you are right there in the book.

Inspiring

Predictable with a dull, prissy main character who was old before her time and was also slightly irritating. However, I did like some of the detailed active descriptions on how things were done and what was needed.
