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? After 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?

Thoughts

This was well written but of course all very predictable - newly single, making a new life for yourself in France, getting involved with village life, making new and old friends, and ultimately doing a lot of baking. It was a nice group of characters to go on the journey with, though, and I enjoyed the story, whipping through it nice and quickly.
