Set in the south of France, we meet Del, who moved there three years ago, and hasn't looked back since. She has new friends, a new home and a new love - Fabien.
Le Petit Mas, home to Del and Fabien, is at the heart of this book alongside the community feel, the awful mistral, and the consequences that follow.
This book is centred around friendships, old and new. Del has invited a group of volunteer pickers to help harvest lavender for the summer. They all form a friendship despite the disaster that was the first night supper. Throughout, many of the characters are finding themselves, and it's lovely to see them grow and become more and more confident with themselves.
Though, I think I most related to Maria. Reading about her life and relationships, while slightly different, really resonated with me, but just her strength and courage are inspiring.
Obviously, there are hurdles for the characters following the passing of a loved one and the mistral, but it also shows how it can change and affect a person in many different ways.
There were two characters in particular I really didn't like, but by the last two chapters, one had completely changed my views on him, Zacherie.
Marco is still a dick.
