    About this ebook

    Living life to the full in a small French village
    In Escaping, Henrietta taylor quitted Australia with her two young children and settled in a small village in the south of France, where she became the proprietor of two charming holiday cottages. Lavender and Linen finds Henrietta older and a little wiser, though still struggling to make sense of her unorthodox life. Should she stay in France, where the locals are odd, business is erratic, but the scenery is stunning? Will she ever resolve her relationship with Latin Ray or should she see what develops with her dashing and attentive 
new neighbour? Humorous and clear-eyed, Lavender and Linen is an irresistible story of a life gone almost right. 'An utterly delightful memoir' West Australian
