Maeve Haran
IF your idea of living the dream is buying a château and
escaping to la belle France, then step into the world of three old friends and
discover that even the best laid plans can bring their own complications!
Continental getaways are teetering precariously this summer
so head off to a magical destination courtesy of Maeve Haran, author of a
string of warm and witty novels including Having It All, the 1992 bestseller
which famously captured the dilemma of the working mother.
Haran, a former television producer and mother of three
grown-up children, brings to her fabulous fiction all the drama of her career,
the wisdom of her years and the human insight from raising a brood of
youngsters, and she truly does have fun in the sun in this glorious celebration
of women, friendship and the endless delights of France.
Steph, Jo and Meredith have been friends since school. Their
lives have all taken very different paths across the years, but when high-flying
businesswoman Meredith buys a romantic château in an idyllic village in the
Dordogne she finds she can’t run it alone… so who better to enlist for help
than her two old friends?
Friends and lovers, old and new, come together and fall
apart in deepest France, culminating in a very special château wedding. If you’re feeling starved of sunshine, French cuisine, and
maybe even a little romance this summer, A Very French Wedding is guaranteed to
sweep you away to lush countryside, meandering rivers, and a magnificent château
which only needs Sleeping Beauty waving from the battlements to make it a dream
come true. And Haran is certainly on her best form in this
sunshine-filled odyssey, a perfect fit for discerning women who like their
entertainment to come with a charismatic cast, a seductive backdrop and a
storyline full of gentle humour, romance, friendship and new beginnings. It would be summer madness to miss it!
