Book Synopsis

Sink into the hilarious feel-good story of a family holiday gone wrong from the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Cornish Summer

''Wonderful story that made me laugh but also cry... great escapism'' 5***** Reader Review

When Flora, James and their two teenage daughters are offered a free holiday in a beautiful chateau in the South of France in return for an act of kindness, they obviously jump at the chance.

A break from hectic London - what could be better?

But Flora wasn''t expecting a whole heap of family baggage coming along too - including some surprise guests.

And especially not James developing a crush on their famous host.

Perhaps this won''t be the dream holiday she had in mind . . .

If you like Jill Mansell, Cathy Kelly and Fern Britton you''ll love this.
