About this audiobook
When Leah and her husband moved to France, it was with the dream of becoming self-sufficient. But in truth, it’s not the ‘good life’ she’d imagined, as three hours of digging barely yield a single straggly carrot. Worse, her teenage daughter is acting up, and her husband seems to find every strange excuse under the hot French sun to disappear.
So when her friend entreats her to join the new bookclub she’s forming, Leah decides it’s something she will do for herself. The chance to make new friends, to drink a few glasses of wine, and to escape into stories that take her miles away from the life she’d thought would be her own happy-ever-after.
But the book club is a strange group of misfits. There’s prickly Grace, who lives alone and seems to know everybody and like no-one. Buttoned-up Monica, who says her husband is away and appears to be parenting her baby all alone. Handsome builder George, who has barely read a book before. And Alfie – who is a full two decades younger than everyone else, and is hiding a devastating secret…
As the stories they read begin to bring the new friends closer together, Leah is about to discover that happy-ever-afters don’t always look how you expect them to…
A gorgeously escapist read from the bestselling author of A Year at the French Farmhouse, perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Jo Thomas and Fiona Valpy.

‘A wonderful, heartwarming story… This novel not only celebrates the timeless power of fiction, but explores themes of loneliness in all its forms, of friendship and self-acceptance… A joy to read, so evocative of the Bordeaux region and with each character painted vividly and sympathetically. A book to utterly immerse yourself in. I loved it!’ Louise Fein, author ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Gillian Harvey is my go-to author for uplifting and engrossing stories set in France. In The Bordeaux Book Club she is at the top of her game and this book is as delicious as the millefeuilles she so temptingly describes." Kirsten Hesketh, author ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
