Description
Julia Packett has barely laid eyes on her daughter, Susan, since leaving her with her in-laws following the loss of her husband in World War I. Now thirty-seven, Julia's lack of prospects hasn't dimmed her spirit or her appetite for life. When Susan asks her to come to France for the summer to persuade her grandmother to allow her to marry, Julia sets sail with the noblest intentions of acting the paragon of motherhood. However, at her daughter-in-law's vacation villa in Haute Savoie, Julia sees that her priggish but lovely daughter is completely mismatched with a man much more suited to herself. The arrival of Susan's legal guardian, Sir William Waring, further complicates the situation. As Julia tries to pass herself off as a lady and secure her daughter's happiness, things spin out of control, leading to romantic entanglements and madcap adventures that challenge preconceived notions about love. This novel is a charming tale of love, family, and self-discovery, set against the beautiful backdrop of 1930s France.
