A French Adventure The BRAND NEW gorgeous, escapist romantic read from Jennifer Bohnet for 2024

When your old life ceases to exist, its time to build a new one…

It’s early summer on the French Riviera when Vivienne Wilson arrives for a one-woman writers’ retreat in a state of shock after her philandering husband informs her that their 30-year marriage is over and he wants a divorce.

There to collect the shell-shocked Vivienne is recently widowed Maxine Zonszain, who is struggling to come to terms with her empty life. To add insult to injury she receives another knockout punch with a letter from her estranged first husband….

Florist extraordinaire, Olivia Murray, shares the Villa that Vivienne is renting. She’s content with life - but sad at yet another failed relationship and longs to meet The One.

Life under the summer sun in Antibes becomes a challenging time for all three women as secrets are shared, problems halved as they forge unexpected friendships and embark on new adventures.

Sometimes life’s surprises turn out to be unwanted but just sometimes the ‘new normal’ makes for a happier life than the one lost.
