Description

About the Author Fiona Valpy spent seven years living in France, having moved there from the UK in 2007. She and her family renovated an old, rambling farmhouse in the Bordeaux winelands, during which time she developed new-found skills in cement-mixing, interior decorating and wine-tasting. All of these inspirations, along with a love for the place, the people and their history, have found their way into the books she’s written, which have been translated into German, Norwegian, Czech and Turkish. Fiona now lives in Scotland, but enjoys regular visits to France in search of the sun.

A wonderful book

The story weaves itself through the second world war establishing the man character as a strong and courageous woman. During the book she falls in love with two men, both marvelous people. At the end the author does not mourn the end of one of the relationships but takes one to a better place that has her realizing that her husband is the long lasting love and her first love, although deep, is the one that remains almost as a fantacy. A good read.
