#LoveInProvence #NetGalley
I was drawn to this title by the inviting cover and the name of author Jo Thomas. Thomas writes books that are perfect for a bit of escape in a gorgeous setting. This title set in Provence is everything a reader could want for a summer read.
In these pages readers meet Del, Stephanie, Rhi, Fabien and many others. Each has a story to tell and a connection with Del. Del, herself, moved to Provence hoping to repair her marriage. When that did not happen, she chose to stay in France where she is both a chef and the proprietor of a lavender farm. As the story opens, it is time for the harvest.
A harvest is a time of hard work, accomplishment and celebration. Will these same characteristics influence the people in this book? Readers will hope so.
The nice thing about a summer read is that it does not always have to be happy and yet readers can feel safe in the author’s hands. That is certainly the case here.
It is easy to recommend this title to those who enjoy women’s fiction and well told stories.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK-Transworld Publishers for this title. All opinions are my own.
