Synopsis

'Her paintings sang of sun, of cicadas, of light on hot stone, of the silvery undersides of olive leaves and the dazzling zing of lemons.'

The sensory richness of France unlocks unexpected truths for those who travel there. A stressed-out publicist learns what getting away from it all really means. A divorcee's new happiness bewilders her friends. A woman's dream holiday rental turns to nightmare. Unhappy couples fantasise about new passion. A young girl is transformed by wonder on her first trip abroad. Pain strikes an older woman, in a landscape of impossible perfection. A widower finally understands the consolation of art, unlike the artist who has spent his life denying it.

In these evocative stories flawed people are ambushed by hopes, regrets and longings. Inspired by the breathtaking beauty around them, can they change their lives?

'Lorna Fergusson is one of the most impressive authors I know. Always crafted with the deftest of touches, her stories are a delight to read.' Carol Cooper, The Girls from Alexandria

'Steeped in the atmosphere, history and excitement of France ... the sort of book that is difficult to put down.' Living France review of Lorna Fergusson's The Chase
