I’ve really come to enjoy the novels of Jo Thomas which link foreign travel and a passion for food. This adds in a soupcon of Christmas as well for good measure and on the whole leaves you with a warm glow brought on by a fun time spent with family and good food.
Fliss our heroine is great, practical and recovering from a relationship which ultimately meant different things to both parties. I also loved Jason, and Charlotte, the Chatelaine of the Chateau.
The setting is beautiful and in the acknowledgements, Jo Thomas talks about being inspired by Escape to the Chateau, which follows Brits moving to France and renovating Chateaus.
The food aspect concerns the growing and eating of apples which feature heavily in a number of recipes. As an extra Brucie bonus, Jo Thomas has helpfully added some recipes I can confirm that the Normandy Chicken is de-lic-ious.
The story is lovely. It is a time for healing for all of our characters and the town they live in. This is a lovely novel, set at Christmas and set in a foreign land, it’s so cosy.
