Imrie HAS crafted a warm, funny, thats true beginning not to be missed. I only wish I hadnt finished the book Such a delight Because its one never wants it to end. Mayhaps'll just read it again!
For starters Were Introduced to Theresa Whose life is interrupted only by babysitting grandchildren Thoroughly obnoxious and ungrateful harangues from an unappreciative daughter. She sells her London home and moves to Bellevue-sure-Mer imagining a life of peace and relaxation - Little About did she know!
Once settling herself into her new home Theresa begins to meet the band of foreigners Who-have joined together - Seldom HAS Such an array of eccentric folks Introduced beens. There is impeccably groomed, glamorous Carol and her Devoted husband, David; British TV star Sally form; Sian dangerous wandering poet and her husband; Zoe Who possesses an amazingly young face, and the urbane Brian Who catches more than Theresas eye.
Of course, there are financial and family Concerns, and Secrets Revealed. (Theresa is a terrific cook and includes Imrie Reviews some of her recipes, so if you cant get to Bellevue-sur-Mer you can eat well and pretend.)
Enjoy!
