Brought to you by Penguin.
A wonderfully romantic, feel-good new novel set in a French château over the most magical time of the year! From the best-selling author of Escape to the French Farmhouse.
When their grandfather dies, Fliss and her sisters are astonished to inherit a French château! Travelling to Normandy to visit the beautiful if faded house, they excitedly make plans over delicious crêpes and local cider in the town nearby.
But they soon discover the château needs major work, a huge tax bill is due...and there's a sitting tenant, Madame Charlotte Cadieux, to whom they owe a monthly allowance!
Unable to sell but strapped for cash, Fliss determines to spruce up the elegant old rooms and open a B&B. But why are Jacques - Madame's grandson and the mayor - and the other townsfolk so hostile? How did Fliss' grandfather come to own the place anyway? And will Jacques and Fliss be able to put their differences aside to save the château?
It seems like nothing but trouble. But as the old year gives way to the new, it could be a new beginning for them all....
Inspired by Escape to the Chateau, this is a cosy and uplifting novel to curl up with, from the author of Escape to the French Farmhouse and Finding Love at the Christmas Market.

Story
The Waverleys have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of Bascom, North Carolina. Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers.
Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
Together again in the house they grew up in, the Waverley sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.

Story
The villagers of Thrush Green celebrate Christmas traditionally, in a way that has hardly changed over the generations. Children eagerly hang up their stockings, families go to church together and everyone enjoys the treats of the festive season. And when it snows as the carol singers make their way round the cottages on the green, it looks as if Christmas will be perfect this year. But not everything is as peaceful as it seems.

Story
The perfect escapist listen, for all fans of Cathy Bramley and Scarlett Bailey. A Year at the Star and Sixpence is Holly Hepburn's four Star and Sixpence novellas collected together as a novel for the first time. When sisters Nessie and Sam inherit a little pub in a beautiful country village, they jump at the chance to escape their messy lives and start afresh. But when they arrive at the Star and Sixpence, it's not quite what they imagined - it's pretty much derelict, ruined by debts, and it's going to be a huge job....

I loved it but was disappointed by 1 thing
I love a clean, cozy read with good vibes. I thought I had found it and was truly enjoying this story. Jo Thomas is an excellent writer who creates a mental escape to different countries and this time it was to France. She’s so good at painting a mental picture and this narrator was perfect! She used different accents for different characters and she made this story come to life. My only hang up is that usually if a storyline is going to present a moral dilemma for me it is usually introduced early in the book and I stop reading it. However in this book “a situation” was introduced 3/4 of the way through that I did not like. It was not sexualized or that would have caused me to stop reading it immediately but a stolen kiss to someone else’s spouse is still wrong to me (and infidelity is always wrong no matter how someone tries to justify it.) So for that reason I dropped to 4 stars but this would’ve been 5 stars if it didn’t have that situation in the storyline. Also as a side note there is reference to a ghost but there is not one (and it was fairly obvious which is why I waited and I was right.) To some, like myself, that also would have meant book returned because I don’t mess with anything spiritistic. Overall, Jo Thomas is 1 of my favorite writers. (I highly recommend “Chasing the Italian Dream.” No moral dilemmas involved 😊.)
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
