Daisy’s French Farmhouse by Lorraine Wilson
Escape to heaven…
Daisy has never been lucky in love, and when her love life implodes—again—she flees to France. A summer in the sun helping out at her friend Poppy’s guesthouse is the perfect way to put unsuitable men behind her!
When Daisy finds herself dog sitting for two loveable rescues they quickly wind their way into Daisy’s heart. The trouble is so does their owner – enigmatic widower and bookseller Anton! But she didn’t come to France fall for another unattainable man…
Can they honour the past and take a chance on the future?
When
Daisy finds out the man she’s been seeing is married, her reaction
is to contact her friend, Poppy and asks if she can stay with her for
a while. She’s embarrassed about her lack of judgement, so hopes a
summer getaway will help her decide what she wants to do with her
life. On arrival in Southern France, she’s instantly drawn to the
area and wonders whether she can make her life here too?
I
like Daisy and found her psychometric “gift” intriguing and
enjoyed how the author works this into the narrative. It is
interesting to understand how others view Daisy when they discover
this about her and therefore, how Anton reacts himself. Equally, his
charm is addictive as we discover his passionate interest in local
folklore and dedication to keeping his old family bookshop open. His
openness to sharing these things with Daisy, as he showed her around
local places of interest is addictive. Emotions and feelings are
constant, as Daisy begins looking to create a new life for herself as
Anton slowly opens up to taking a chance on love again.
The
ending is poignant and touching in what is a truly evocative novel.
The overall feel is joyful as were entertained on this emotional
journey of discovery for the two protagonists. It’s light-hearted
yet tinged
with small pockets of sadness… with a happy ending, full of
promise.
All
the dogs play a large part in the narrative and, for me, steal rather
a lot of attention away from the humans. I’m sure there are many
fans of the series who disagree with me. It’s just, that I’d rather
have read more about Daisy and Anton than the canine cuties.
