À propos de cet audio

Blindsided by betrayal in pre-WWII England, a woman charts a daring new course in this captivating tale of resilience, friendship, and new love by the best-selling author of The Rose Arbor and The Venice Sketchbook.

Surrey, England, 1938. After 30 devoted years of marriage, Ellie Endicott is blindsided by her husband’s appeal for divorce. It’s Ellie’s opportunity for change too. The unfaithful cad can have the house. She’s taking the Bentley. Ellie, her housekeeper Mavis, and her elderly friend Dora—each needing escape—impulsively head for parts unknown in the South of France.

With the Rhône surging beside them, they have nowhere to be and everywhere to go. Until the Bentley breaks down in the inviting fishing hamlet of Saint Benet. Here, Ellie rents an abandoned villa in the hills, makes wonderful friends among the villagers, and finds herself drawn to Nico, a handsome and enigmatic fisherman. As for unexpected destinations, the simple paradis of Saint Benet is perfect. But fates soon change when the threat of war encroaches.

Ellie’s second act in life is just beginning—and becoming an adventure she never expected.

Editorial Review

Pure escapist joy

When Ellie Endicott's husband divorces her for a younger woman, she jumps in his Bentley and flees to France with her housekeeper and elderly neighbor. But the Bentley doesn't quite make it to the Riviera. Stranded in charming Saint Benet, the trio settles in and finds new purpose restoring a villa and building friendships with colorful locals—all while the specter of war hovers over Europe and beyond. Rhys Bowen masterfully balances cozy vibes with weightier themes of reinvention, female solidarity, and eventual wartime challenges. Narrator Barrie Kreinik’s performance is a delight; she nails every character (British and French) perfectly. This breezy, heartwarming listen proves it's never too late for adventure, romance, or discovering your inner strength.—Tricia F., Audible Editor

Good story with a strong performance and some unexpected twists. A few things feel a bit implausible, but it’s still an engaging read. The World War II genre is pretty crowded, so it doesn’t feel groundbreaking, but overall, a solid and compelling story.
