Bordeaux Book Club
Summary
Love books? The Bordeaux Book Club is seeking new members!When Leah and her husband moved to France, it was with the dream of becoming self-sufficient. But in truth, it's not the 'good life' she'd imagined, as three hours of digging barely yield a single straggly carrot. Worse, her teenage daughter is acting up, and her husband seems to find every strange excuse under the hot French sun to disappear.So when her friend entreats her to join the new bookclub she's forming, Leah decides it's something she will do for herself. The chance to make new friends, to drink a few glasses of wine, and to escape into stories that take her miles away from the life she'd thought would be her own happy-ever-after.But the book club is a strange group of misfits. There's prickly Grace, who lives alone and seems to know everybody and like no-one. Buttoned-up Monica, who says her husband is away and appears to be parenting her baby all alone. Handsome builder George, who has barely read a book before. And Alfie - who is a full two decades younger than everyone else, and is hiding a devastating secret...As the stories they read begin to bring the new friends closer together, Leah is about to discover that happy-ever-afters don't always look how you expect them to...
