Review | Escape to the French Farmhouse by Jo Thomas

Blurb

Can she find her recipe for happiness?

Del and her husband Ollie moved to a beautiful village in Provence for a fresh start after years of infertility struggles. But six weeks after they arrive, they’re packing the removal van once more. As Del watches the van leave for England, she suddenly realises exactly what will make her happier…a new life in France – without Ollie.

Now alone, all Del has is a crumbling farmhouse, a mortgage to pay and a few lavender plants. What on earth is she going to do? Discovering an old recipe book at the market run by the rather attractive Fabian, Del starts to bake. But can her new-found passion really help her let go of the past and lead to true happiness?

Review

Jo Thomas is a firm favourite of mine & I'm happy to report that she has produced another absolute gem!

The setting is gorgeous and the writing is brilliant, you are instantly transported from your lockdown reading nook to the idyllic French countryside.

The main character Del, is a fabulous character and the perfect reminder of all the good things that come when you follow your heart, is it plain sailing? hell no, is it 100% worth doing hell yes!

This is feel-good escapism at it's finest, so treat yourself relax in a sunny spot and enjoy your break in this lavender-scented Provence.

Thanks to Anne Cater and Transworld Books for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
