Book overview

Preorder a beautiful sunny, getaway read from bestselling author Jennifer Bohnet

As one door closes, another one opens...

When Agnes Agistini receives a phone call from Theo, her brother-in-law informing her that her estranged, abusive husband Oscar has died in an accident, she feels nothing but relief. But that relief is short-lived as Oscar's vengeance from an early grave forces Agnes to return to the place she fled from over forty years ago. A place and time she's not keen to revisit.

At the request of a French notaires dealing with Oscar's last will, Agnes travels to Cannes in the South of France alongside their daughter Francine and her grand-daughter Jasmine.

Agnes knows that going back will inevitably drag up deep, dark memories which she is yet to reconcile, but what choice does she have?
What she wasn't prepared for are the family secrets that will come to light, or the cruel way in which Oscar treats her right until the bitter end.

As always Theo remains by her side, helping to navigate the myriad of bombshells Oscar leaves in his wake. But as wonderful memories begin to resurface Agnes begins to wonder if she can finally make peace with the past and find an everlasting happiness?

An wonderful tale of hidden secrets and true love winning the day.
Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.
