About this audiobook
Escape to France with this warm, witty romantic read.
After ten years of loyal service Lily Butterworth has been made redundant. Like any clever woman, she knows the cure to redundancy is a little too much wine and her best friend.
Only the next morning, Lily has more than a hangover . . . she has a whole new house – in France!
Seeing this as an opportunity instead of a disaster, she’s excited about finally moving to France, just as she and her husband always dreamed of. However, Lily is in for another surprise. Despite planning to move there for over 20 years, her husband never actually intended to go.
So begins a year in France, alone, renovating the gorgeous old farmhouse that is held together by wallpaper and wishes.
Will a year at the French farmhouse be just what Lily needs? Or could it be the previous owner, Frederique, that is the answer to Lily’s dreams?
'A gorgeous escapist story of second chances. I loved it’ Alex Brown
'Unputdownable. A Year At The French Farmhouse is the ultimate feel good novel. I was right there with the characters, soaking up the atmosphere, rooting for Lily and willing for everything to turn out right.' Paula Greenlees
‘The perfect feel-good read. Uplifting, touching and really quite hilarious. It’s like going on holiday without leaving the house’ Tim Ewins

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I went back and forth between really liking it and not wanting to finish. I didn't like how a the end of a chapter left you on a cliff and it didn't immediately resume at that spot in the next chapter. I did really like Lilly, Em and Sam.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyable listen. Liked the setting and the characters. Very realistic.
