Discovering her feckless husband is having yet another affair and following her mother’s death, she is in need of an escape. Finding an envelope addressed to her mother’s estranged sister Josette in the south of France gives Carla the perfect plan.
Seizing the moment, she packs her bags and heads to Antibes to seek out the enigma known as Tante Josette. But as the two women begin to forge a tentative relationship, family secrets start to unravel, forcing Carla to question her life as she has always known it.
A heartwarming tale on the beautiful French Riviera that will keep you guessing. From the best-selling author of Summer at Coastguard Cottages, The Little Kiosk by the Sea and Rosie's Little Cafe on the Riviera. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very enjoyable with twists and turns to keep it interesting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sweet story, fun and very pleasant to dream of the setting in the south of France, feels almost like having a holiday! I found the accents a little exaggerated at times but the characters felt real and sympathetic, although there could have been more depth as it sometimes felt a little like caricatures, but definitely a good "escape and relax" story. Would be great to have a sequel.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story, beautifully written and fantastic narration. I thoroughly enjoyed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have enjoyed this book sooo much. It’s so well written and the characters are so rich. Nobody is entirely good or bad we’re just humans who make mistakes doing the best we can.
