Publisher's Synopsis
When your old life ceases to exist, it's time to build a new one…
It's early summer on the French Riviera when Vivienne Wilson arrives for a one-woman writers' retreat after her philandering husband informs her that their 30-year marriage is over.
There to collect the shell-shocked Vivienne is recently widowed Maxine Zonszain, who is struggling to come to terms with her empty life following the sudden death of her husband.
Florist extraordinaire, Olivia Murray, shares the Villa that Vivienne is renting. She's pretty content with life - but longs to meet 'The One'.
Life under the summer sun in Antibes becomes a challenging time for all three women. Secrets are shared, problems are halved as they forge new and unexpected friendships and embark on new adventures.
Sometimes life's surprises turn out to be unwanted but just sometimes the 'new normal' makes for a happier life than the one lost.
A uplifting tale of friendship and second chances. Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.
