A Year in the French Farmhouse
What you need to know before your trail
After ten years of loyal service Lily Butterworth has been made redundant. Like any clever woman, she knows the cure to redundancy is a little too much wine and her best friend.
Only the next morning, Lily has more than a hangover . . . she has a whole new house – in France!
Seeing this as an opportunity instead of a disaster, she’s excited about finally moving to France, just as she and her husband always dreamed of. However, Lily is in for another surprise. Despite planning to move there for over 20 years, her husband never actually intended to go.
So begins a year in France, alone, renovating the gorgeous old farmhouse that is held together by wallpaper and wishes.
Will a year at the French farmhouse be just what Lily needs? Or could it be the previous owner, Frederique, that is the answer to Lily’s dreams?

Travel Guide
Limousin France
The author says
“Known as the lake district of France, the beautiful Limousin is full of green, open spaces, lakeside beaches, beautiful stone buildings tucked into tiny hamlets and offers some of the purest air in France with which to fill your lungs.
Despite having lived here 12 years, ‘A Year at the French Farmhouse’ is the first novel I’ve written that’s set in the country I now call home. But the experience of bringing my local area to life for readers has been amazing, and helped me to see and appreciate the beautiful area as if for the first time.”
