When she goes for the interview she has to lie about her age as it is for a nanny position to three children and she is only 20! Btw, I’d go ahead and admit surrender right now and prepare to lose your heart to a sassy nine-year-old.
She has three children: Guy, Francis and Briony and didn't start writing until after the birth of her third child. I also didn’t know that the French celebrate Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day but the way Alex and David introduced the more English traditions felt so fitting in this. I have read all of Katie Fforde’s novels over the last twenty years or so, and A Wedding in Provence has a lot of the familiar elements that make her books so memorable.Of course I had watched every TV programme there was about chateaux, but interestingly, the one I created was quite unlike any of the ones I saw. Smegenims visiskai atjungti lengva atostogine romantika 👌🏻 tobulai klisinis scenarijus, kur durniau ir nesugalvosi: nudrengtoj pily gyvenantis neturtingas grafas vaikams pasamdo 20mete auklyte, kuri pasirodo dar ir yra dideliu turtu paveldetoja. Though instantly attracted to Antoine she knows that there are too many reasons why they could never be a couple and focuses all of her love and attention on his 3 children.
I can’t believe that this is the first book by Katie Fforde that I’ve read as it definitely won’t be the last! She gets to hear about a job and decides that this would be the perfect opportunity to putting her cooking skills to good use and getting to stay in Paris a bit longer. Alexandra is an engaging character who diverts from her journey to a finishing school in Switzerland to become a nanny for a short time in Provence which becomes life changing. Telling the story of Alexandra who takes on a nannying job as a change of career, in a French chateau. I feel like the story is centered more around Alexandra's relationship with the children (which was EVERYTHING) rather than a romance with the count, but the ending tied it all up neatly and made my heart so happy!Simple, country Provençial life is pleasantly portrayed through descriptions of the landscape, markets and food, and provides a relaxed backdrop for stiff-natured characters to change.
Cookery school-trained, with ‘colloquial and rustic’ French, Alexandra is to take charge of le Comte’s – Antoine’s – three children in a chateau in Provence for a month.She is delighted to have been chosen as Chair of the Romantic Novelists' Association and says, "Catherine Jones was a wonderful chair and she's a very tough act to follow. As a big fan of The Sound of Music, I enjoyed following the relationship and comparing it to Maria and Captain von Trapp’s. Her story was accompanied by a varied cast of interesting side characters, including endearing children and a dashing loved interest.
So, after a trying week at work I had a date with my sofa and the book on the Saturday and I wasn’t moving!
A gentle romance in more ways than one, the style of read that fans of Katie Fforde are used to reading. Set in the early sixties this is a charming romantic read,I'll not go into the story just sit back and relax .
Great Deal
