A year to forget. The perfect escape. And a little Christmas magic... Touching, uplifting, and filled with delicious French cooking, The French for Christmas is the perfect Christmas treat. Evie used to LOVE Christmas, but this year she can't wait for the tinsel and presents to be a distant memory. When her best friends offer the use of their cottage in the beautiful French countryside, Evie jumps at the chance. With her soon-to-be-ex-husband, celebrity chef Will Brooke, plastered over the news with his latest 'love interest', leaving the country seems like the perfect plan. Armed with her French grandmother's tattered notebook of recipes, Evie is determined to ignore Christmas altogether and bake herself back to happiness. And when Evie meets her next-door neighbour - the tres gorgeous doctor Didier she finds a very willing taste-tester. But is it possible that he could be interested in more than just her Tarte Tatin? With snow falling, a special Reveillon dinner and a little Christmas magic in the air, could Didier even be the one to thaw Evie's heart? Or will a visit from the ghost of Christmas past change everything? 'Fiona Valpy's writing is great; well-paced, detailed, and captivating, and I definitely look forward to reading more of her work in the future.' Spoonful of Happy Endings
