Publisher's summary

Like a glass of wine in the French afternoon sunshine, The French for Love is the perfect summer escape.

Can happy ever after get lost in translation?

Gina has lost her perfect job, her boyfriend, and her favorite aunt all within the space of a few months. So when she inherits her aunt's ramshackle French house, Gina decides to pack her bags for the Bordeaux countryside - swapping English weather for blue skies, sunshine, great wine, and a fresh start.

What she hasn't factored in is a hole in the roof, the most embarrassing language faux pas, and discovering family secrets she was never supposed to know.

Suddenly feeling a long way from home, Gina will have to rely on newfound friends, her own hard work - and Cedric - her charming, mysterious, and tres handsome new stonemason.

But while desire needs no translation, love is a different matter. Can Gina overcome the language barrier to make her French dream come true?

Love this story

I really like that the story takes place in France and the characters are excellent. I love this audio and the combination of English and French accents. Highly recommended.

Wonderful storyline

I love this author and how all her stories seem to connect with the others. It’s like being returned home.

I hope you like Wine!

This story took forever to develop and was too technical with the different types of wines and wine making. It was also very predictable. This wasn’t one of my favorites from the author. The narrator did a fine job with the characters though.

For Love of France, Wine, and Love Itself

As per always, Fiona Valpy delivers an absolute treasure of a story!! Also as per always, the narration is done so brilliantly! A gentle reminder that communication matters, but so too does family, community and, of course, love. Naturally I will be telling everyone to read it (indeed, any Fiona Valpy book), and immediately getting the next one I haven’t read.

French for Love

Beautiful story. Sorry when it came to an end. And who is "Meree"? You used her name in four books. Look forward to another book.
