Summer in Provence

A novel that inspires change. Fern and Aiden have been married for seven years, but their marriage resembles more of a friendship than a union of two loving hearts. Fern desperately wants to mend their relationship, while Aiden has his... own plans for life. Suddenly, the couple wins a million pounds. Fern and Aiden realize that this is a lucky lottery ticket to a new life. They agree to take a break: Aiden goes off to explore Australia, which he has dreamed of for his entire life, while Fern heads to Provence. They are set to spend a whole year apart and test the strength of their feelings. Meditative, beautiful, and inspiring stories by Lucy Coleman are the perfect tonic when life becomes a bit gray. — Holly Martin
