Review

A French Country Escape was everything I hoped for! One of the standout features of this book is the strong family bonds between the characters. Siblings Freddie and Sasha embark on a move to France together during a tough time in their lives, while Ingrid and Peter do everything they can to support their daughter, Penny, all while trying to solve a long-held family mystery.

As the story unfolds, we see both Sasha and Penny take brave steps to free themselves from their troubled pasts. Watching them write the next chapters of their lives was truly rewarding—Sasha through her blossoming art, and Penny through her passion for food. The tight-knit Breton village and its charming château provide a warm and healing backdrop for their journey. There are a few surprising twists along the way, and I loved the romantic touch of restoring old buildings, which opened new possibilities for everyone involved. Plus, the antics of the animals brought plenty of smiles—they’re as much a part of the story as the human characters!

If you’re looking for a heartwarming escape to France filled with humor and emotional depth, this is sure to delight!
