When a group of British friends become enamored with holidays in France they combine their resources and purchase an old French farmhouse to use as a holiday home together. While only a few are fluent in French, all of them are intrigued with the old home and its history. But when one of them has an accident and dies on holiday, they decide to sell the home, though one of them is determine to hold out hope that they will change their minds and keep the house. She is also determined to learn more about the history of the family who lived their and how it might be connected to the loss of their friend.

A truly endearing and bittersweet story told through the past and present residents of the old farm, Castignac. The history of the past brings the home, both past and present as well, to life again as new families make their own history. I found this one to be a quick read and enjoyed it.

Dang... I was really impressed with this one. At first I wasn’t so sure if it would be up my alley but wow was I wrong. Amazing!!!! The writing was terrific as well.
