AS winter tightens its grip, take an unforgettable journey to sun-soaked France with this epic and drama-packed romance from Isabelle Broom (pictured below), acclaimed author of The Orange House.
An emotive and richly compelling tale
of complex relationships, generational trauma and the cathartic nature of
forgiveness, The French Guesthouse features a vibrant cast of characters and a
backdrop that will transport you into the beating heart of summertime.
On the night Fliss loses everything – her beloved hotel
ravaged by fire and fiancé exposed as a cheat – she receives devastating news…
her estranged mother has died. They hadn’t spoken for fifteen years and Fliss
has stayed away for her own self-preservation.
Summoned to a dilapidated guesthouse in France for the reading of the will, Fliss is stunned to discover she has been left all her mother’s possessions. But the inheritance comes at a price… both literal and emotional.
As Fliss begins restoring the guesthouse, she unearths
long-buried secrets about her mother, their past and the true cost of her long
absence. But to move forward, cure her guilt and claim the love and happiness
she has never thought she deserves, Fliss must first reckon with the hardest
question of all… can she forgive?
Sometimes the only way to rebuild the future is to face the
past you tried to escape and that is the message that speaks loudly and clearly
in Broom’s heartfelt, wise and beautiful story which is guaranteed to uplift
the soul and add warmth and colour to your winter blues.
