More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is the sequel to "Perfume from Provence", chronicling further happenings during the l930s in Provence, where Lady Fortescue and her husband converted an old stone farmhouse into a graceful and idyllic home. For two years after Sir John's death, Lady Fortescue - still a comparatively young woman - continued to live there, but was not altogether happy. Then, visiting a friend, she came across a small, near-derelict house set amidst thickets of wild lavender, magenta gladioli and trailing sweet peas. She fell instantly in love with it, and thus began a new and happy chapter of her life. With the help of her friend and neighbour, "Mademoiselle", she set about trying to purchase the property from a complicated and cunning mafia of locals - and then, once again, she began the heartwarming, frustrating, funny and delightful process of transforming a small Provencal cottage into a home, and creating a garden down the side of the mountain. She call the cottage "Sunset House".

A beautiful book written by a lovely, gentle, English Lady. Set in the early-mid 1930's, the book continues the story of Lady Fortescue's life after her husband died leaving her alone in Provence. Lady Fortescue decides to move from the house that she shared with her husband to a smaller house and this book details the trials and tribulations of this period. Lady Fortescue never says a bad word about anybody and tries to see the best in every situation, making this a book to soothe the soul.
