This was a new author for me. And I didn’t realise this was the second in the series either but it could be read as a standalone. However one thing I will say is that there is just so many characters so sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everyone and everything going on. A nice read

A really great story based on retirees clubbing together to purchase a run down chateau. It was beautifully written which was funny at times especially when the previous owner of the chateau came to visit. Great characters and it was good to read their back stories. Fascinating to follow the interactions with friends and others who came to stay at the chateau.

This new book follows on from A Year in the Chateau, picking up the story a few years later. While there are many characters to keep track of, it’s worth persisting as the story unfolds beautifully. With its gentle pace and heartwarming themes, this novel offers a comforting and enjoyable read, perfect for those who love uplifting, character-driven stories.

This was a busy read . A second in a series but can read alone. You follow a group of mature English people who brought a Chateau to retire in. They open it as a B and B. Relations are wobbly. Babies are born. Lovely food descriptions . A pleasant Saturday afternoon read. A very neat ending which I liked .
