About the Book

set on fulfilling their dream of retiring to France, Sophie and John Miller find that things don't always work out quite as planned. Enchanted by the idyllic French countryside, but surrounded by people whose language they can't speak, the couple struggles to keep their heads above water. some of the other expats come to their aid, and some good meals are eaten and wine drunk, but the end-result is not what they had hoped for, especially since one of their neighbors appears to have taken a dislike to them. Another expat, Julie Smithers, comes to France to escape an unhappy romance and try and write a book. A chance encounter with handyman Steve leads to a new romance and the possibility of happiness, though her writing career seems to fall by the wayside. At the denouement of the book, when all four characters happen to be in the same place at the same time, a sad truth emerges.
About the Author: Born and brought up in post-war London to parents who were refugees from Germany, Dorothea Shefer has written several books, all available as ebooks and on Amazon. Today she lives in Israel with her husband, children and grandchildren, but spends her summers in France. Thanks to Hitler, her relatives are scattered all over the world (South America, USA, Europe), and she uses every opportunity to go and visit them. Her life as a writer started at an early age, but publication came only much later, after she retired from her day job as an editor/translator. As well as writing, she also paints in watercolors, and the covers of her books are based on her paintings. Other hobbies include gardening, cooking, and listening to classical music, to which she may be considered addicted.
