When their beloved grandfather dies, Fliss and her sisters
are astonished to inherit a French chateau! Travelling to Normandy to visit the
beautiful if faded house, they soon discover the chateau is a money pit. It
requires major work, a huge tax bill is due . . . and there's a sitting tenant
to whom they owe a monthly allowance.
Unable to sell but strapped for cash, Fliss
decides to spruce up the elegant old rooms and open a B&B. But, why is
Jacques, the neighbouring farmer and also local mayor, so hostile, and how did
their grandfather come to own the place anyway?
I have had this book on my TBR shelf for a
little while, but I was so excited to read it, that I pushed it up my list and
I am so glad I did as I devoured it immediately. It was absolutely fantastic
and I promise you won’t be disappointed when you read it. It has love, food,
jeopardy and characters that you will want to befriend!
I have read most of Jo’s books now and believe
me, this is by far the best, they just keep getting better and better. I loved
the characters in this one, they grew throughout the book and at the start I
was thinking of Fliss in one way, but then by midway through the book my
opinion of her completely changed (in a nice way!).
This book actually made me smile with happiness, and I looked forward to snuggling down in bed delving back into the lives of Fliss and her sisters.
I would love it if at some point we could
revisit the chateau as this wonderful book has left me wanting more!!
