A Wedding in Provence by Katie Fforde
4.0
Rounded down from around 4.5 stars ⭐️ Katie Fforde has done it again by creating another incredibly charming read!
A Wedding in Provence follows Alexandra, a young woman who is desperately trying to avoid the life expected of her by her relations. When a chance encounter gives her the option to work as a nanny she jumps at the opportunity. But, the job is in a chateau in rural Provence, with 3 children to look after, no experience and a very attractive Count; can Alexandra forge her own path?
I absolutely loved this book and felt a deep sadness at having to say goodbye. The characters and setting were so incredibly vivid I was completely swept away. I very much felt like I was part of the family. Usually, I end up having one or two favourite characters but I loved almost every character in this charming book, even the ones who didn’t feature much! I love any book that can take me on a beautiful journey in foreign countries, from the comfort of my home. I loved exploring France in this book and felt a desperate desire for some French food!
This book gave off a Sound of Music, but set in France, vibe. There’s nothing particularly surprising in it, but the easy and lighthearted feel is exactly what I was craving. I loved that the book did touch on some important topics from the 1960’s. It was so interesting to compare it to contemporary life. This was just the fun romance novel that I needed to finish off the summer months!
I would recommend this to any fans of clean romance, especially if you like journeying to other times and places! I want to thank netgalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone publishers and Katie Fforde for allowing me to read this book and give my personal thoughts.
