What to expect
A BRAND NEW gorgeously romantic festive read from Gillian Harvey, BESTSELLING author of The Little Provence Book Shop
Nicola’s move to France is not going to plan. Her husband Steven’s job meant he couldn’t join her for the first few months. Now he has to work at Christmas too, and she’s facing the season alone.
She’s finding life in the tiny French village harder than expected. The house feels more remote than she remembered, and the cold weather makes going out a challenge. Plus the neighbour she’d hoped to befriend seems to be doing everything he can to avoid her friendly ‘bonjours’.
Things begin to look up when she takes on an art student named Lucien who introduces her to life beneath the village’s sleepy façade. Then – at the local Christmas market – she’s given a ceramic angel and told to make a wish…
Nicola doesn’t believe in magic. But as things in her life begin to change, she starts to wonder whether wishes really can come true?
A totally gorgeous and escapist Christmas story, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Veronica Henry and Faith Hogan – available now!
