A transatlantic love story where magic could really happen…
A transatlantic love story where magic could really happen…
Rosie Denham is a PR girl based in London has just spent a year in Paris and despite her best efforts has not managed to find love.
Patrick Riley, from Minnesota, also has love issues since his wife has left him for a Brit – so when he meets Rosie, he’s not exactly happy to hear her accent.
Rosie and Pat certainly are from different sides of the tracks – she’s British, privileged whilst he was raised in poverty in Missouri, has wife who’s left him and two kids.
Magic will need to happen for these two!
Starting in August with events taking place over a whole year, the dual storyline and the dual UK- USA setting sets the scene for long distance love, transatlantic misunderstandings and cultural chaos which are all there of course making this a jaunt across the ocean and back again.
Rosie’s home is London but it’s her jaunts to Paris that we liked – she pictures herself siting on her suitcase in the Gare du Nord sobbing like Linda Raddlett did in Nancy Mitford’s ‘The Pursuit of Love’ and we immediately warmed to the girl. With an imagination like that, who can’t hug her?
Patrick’s stomping ground is Minnesota where we find him rueing the day he and his wife moved to an apartment with views of the Minneapolis, Minnehaha park and the Mississippi River “so awesome she fell in love with it.”
Accidents, cultural misunderstandings and a girl with a wanderlust filled heart….Will they, won’t they? Well, it’s a fun transatlantic journey to finding out.
