Critics Review
A hugely enjoyable romp of a novel with eccentric characters, a delightful background and a savoury tang of crime
A hugely enjoyable romp of a novel with eccentric characters, a delightful background and a savoury tang of crime * Katie Fforde *
A warm, light-hearted, fast-paced tale that fans of Peter Mayle will enjoy * Joanne Harris *
A very witty novel by a very witty woman. Hugely entertaining * Julian Fellowes *
Utterly delicious in every way * Joanna Lumley *
A sunny, funny debut novel … a keenly observed, rollicking tale of mature expats reinventing themselves on the French Riviera * Mail on Sunday *
This debut from national treasure actress Celia perfectly captures the colour of ex-pat life and the glitz and glamour of the South of France. A shaft of early summer sunshine, a funny, spirited read * Daily Mail *
It’s lots of fun, with adventure at a certain age as its driving force, and sun-kissed recipes as chapter breaks * Sainsbury’s Magazine *
