A French Inheritance by Jennifer Bohnet
Every moment is a new beginning on the French Riviera
Five years ago, Adam and Lucy Belgrave took the plunge and bought a sprawling rundown farm in the South of France to bring back to life, much against the advice of Adam’s brother, Elliot.
Today, that dream is becoming a reality and the farm is beginning to thrive and Elliot finds himself grateful for the refuge it provides after his career falters and his marriage fails.
After the death of her beloved granny, a bitter divorce and surprise redundancy - the saying ’sad things come in threes’ resonates with Briony Dymond's life. With her mother by her side, Briony travels to France to learn some news that will change her life completely. Will she have the courage to embrace granny Giselle’s special wishes?
As spring returns to the French Riviera both Elliot and Briony seek to put their pasts behind them and look to find happiness in the future. But can the past give up its hold on the present?

My review
There is something rather exciting, but also reassuring and comforting about opening a new Jennifer Bohnet novel and this one grabbed my heart from the beginning.
As Briony and her mother arrive at granny Giselle’s cottage in France, things are set to change for them both. While her mum is ready for a new beginning, Briony is understandably cautious, still piecing together her life following a recent divorce and redundancy. Meeting their new neighbours, Lucy, Adam and Elliot provides friendship as well as the possibility of exciting new opportunities.

This book is a great mix of characters with strong family bonds, old flames reigniting and new friendships ready to help mend broken hearts. It filled me with a huge sense of well-being and happiness, and I haven’t even got to the adorable canine companions, or the hidden boxes found in the attic with stories waiting to be told.
It was just what I needed and was one of those reads that I didn’t want to end. I could happily have sat by the lake, hoping to spot the kingfisher and following these characters forever.
