4.0

Alison Roberts’ novel is a heartwarming escape, filled with relatable characters and a charming French setting. The story follows Ellie, one of three sisters who inherit an old stone house in Provence. Grieving the loss of her baby, Ellie stays behind to oversee renovations, hoping the change of scenery will help her heal. The beautifully described Provence countryside creates a dreamy backdrop as Ellie slowly finds a sense of belonging. A key highlight is Ellie’s growing connection with her neighbour Julien, a kind doctor, and his son Theo. Their sweet, slow-building romance feels natural, adding depth to the story. While the book starts slowly, it eventually finds its rhythm, offering heartfelt moments that touch on themes of loss, recovery, and new beginnings.  With delightful touches like a stray dog, donkeys, and a trusty red bicycle, this cozy, small-town romance is perfect for readers who enjoy a gentle, uplifting story. A solid four-star read for fans of contemporary romance and personal healing in an idyllic French setting. (full review on momobookdiary)
