Escape to the beautiful lavender fields of Provence this summer<\/span><\/p>\n

Del moved to the south of France three years ago and hasn\u2019t looked back. She\u2019s found new friends, new purpose, and new love with gorgeous Fabien.<\/p>\n

But just as harvest on her little lavender farm is due to begin, Del gets some shocking news. With no time to dwell as she welcomes a new crew of lavender pickers, she unexpectedly waves goodbye to Fabien for the summer.<\/p>\n

Usually cooking \u2013 the thing she loves best \u2013 would help soothe her troubles, but Del doesn\u2019t remember how . . . And then chef Zacharie comes to town, dropping another bombshell!<\/p>\n

Over one summer in Provence that\u2019s full of surprises, friends old and new rally round. Can they complete the harvest and pull the community back together? And if Fabien returns, will Del finally get her happy-ever-after?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

This book has been waiting for me on my kindle for far too long. An author who I love but I know I soft DNF it at the time but couldn’t remember why. I decided to try again today and I am so glad I did because I read it in one comforting sitting and loved being reunited with Del, Fabien, Stephanie as well as so many other characters. As well as old favourites we meet a whole group of new characters who arrive to help with the Lavender harvest and they all have their own reasons for escaping their day to day lives to take some time out and lend a hand at Le Petit de la Mer.<\/p>\n

This book many are going to relate to a character along the way as so many different life challenges are being explored when we reach a point in our lives where we suddenly stop and re-evaluate our lives, what we are doing, where we are and who we are with and think is it really what I want and it is never to late to change if your really unhappy but equally sometimes just stopping makes you appreciate what it is in life you love and maybe might be neglecting.<\/p>\n

This is certainly a foodie lovers dream of a book because community coking features heavily in this book and my tummy was rumbling the whole way through. There is a real community spirit flowing through the pages again in this book which is something I adore in a book as it seems to be something we are losing in our society,<\/p>\n

I do remember now why I soft Dnf this book last time as I had the same wobble when first starting this today and that was the French language that is scattered throughout the start of the book, I am ashamed to say I don’t speak French so it stopped me getting into the flow of the book at first but after the first few chapters there wasn’t anywhere near as much so I found my enjoyment and intrigue in the storyline growing.<\/p>\n

I would definitely recommend this book for foodie lovers who like an idyllic setting and a comforting feel of community spirit thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
