A French Affair
A French AffairWhat will be will be…
Belinda Marshall’s idyllic teenage life in Brittany, France, fell apart when her parents dramatically separated and her mother took her back to England.
Fast forward thirty-five years when Belinda’s world is once again turned upside down.
It’s the week before Christmas and Belinda’s employer ‘surprises’ her by asking for her help to rejuvenate their latest investment, a run-down campsite in Brittany.
Memories and anxieties that had lain dormant for years suddenly begin to resurface.
As secrets from a lost life threaten to overwhelm her, there is a realisation that maybe she wasn’t told the whole truth by her mother all those years ago.
Can Belinda reconcile her emotions and find happiness once more in the place she so loved and called home?
My Review of A French Affair
I wanted to read A French Affair purely because of the book’s setting. It was only about three years ago that I visited France for the very first time (albeit briefly), and then again a year or so ago when we had the chance to stay a little longer. Needless to say, I was smitten, which is why this book appealed to me so much.
I certainly wasn’t disappointed. In fact, it made me want to return again! Intrigue soon overtook me and I was very keen to find out what had happened in the main character’s past that had led to so much heartbreak for her and her family. All loose ends were tied up nicely, although I would have liked to learn a little more about her father. I did enjoy the relationship between Belinda and her French colleague though!
Admittedly, this isn’t my usual kind of book but I did enjoy it and found it to be a charming tale of friendships, family drama and love.
