A house in the south of France. A holiday of a lifetime. What could be nicer What could possibly go wrong When Flora, James and their two teenage daughters are offered the holiday of a lifetime in a chateau in the south of France in return for one simple good deed, they jump at the chance. They exchange the confines of Clapham, the weight of the mortgage and anxieties over their future for a blissful break. But Flora didn't anticipate a mysterious guest and a whole heap of family baggage coming too. With James developing a schoolboy crush on a famous singer and Flora distracted by ghosts from her past, their dream holiday suddenly takes some very unexpected turns.
Warm, witty, easy to read... a thoroughly engaging, entertaining read Daily Mail A breezy, comic, summery romp that will appeal to fans of Jilly Cooper Sunday Mirror While you'll probably be glad that you're not on this holiday with the Murray-Browns, make sure to take them on yours. This book will also win you points as a great Mother's Day gift. -- Jade Craddock Heat Magazine Compulsively readable The Times Hilarious and full of surprises Daily Telegraph The writing is both intelligent and sparkling. Marian Keyes A huge treat. Hilarious yet poignant. Sophie Kinsella
