When Daisy Lewis inherits a crumbling farmhouse in rural France from the father who never knew she existed, she expects nothing more than paperwork and problems. What she finds instead is an overgrown orchard, a village full of people who knew her father better than she did, and Patrick – an infuriatingly handsome neighbouring farmer, who definitely doesn’t speak English… until he does.
Daisy’s life has been swallowed up with trying to keep her Yorkshire pub afloat. France was supposed to be a detour – one quick summer trip to sort out the details, sell up, and leave. But life has a way of happening when you’re busy making other plans…

My Thoughts:

As soon as I saw this book, I knew I had to read it. It had everything and more to it and I just loved it. The cover is stunning and makes me dream about going back to France. It was delightful on every page. The story is about Daisy who after inheriting a farmhouse in France, does not realise what she is actually taking on, it is in such disrepair that she does not know if she can get it back to the way it once was. She though this was a stop gap but it is becoming increasing taking over her life. The community seem to want to help as they all loved her father but will she let them in? I mean she does really need the help. I loved following along with Daisy’s story, it was intriguing to see what she was going to do with the farmhouse and the outcome in the end. It was a feel good read and this is book one of three in the Escape to the French Village so I am intrigued to read the next one and see what happens.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
