Today it is my turn on the blog tour for Christmas on the Riviera by Jennifer Bohnet
Book Review
Christmas on the Riviera by Jennifer Bohnet
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
As a toddler Elodie Jacques was abandoned by her mother and left in the care of her French grandmother, Gabriella in Dartmouth, Devon.
Now 24 years old, Elodie struggles to reconcile the deep anger for the mother she has never since seen.
When Gabriella unexpectedly announces she wants the two of them to spend Christmas and her 70th birthday in her home town of Juan-les-Pins in the South of France Elodie is thrilled.
Gabriella meanwhile has her own ulterior motives for wanting to return after 40 years, a daunting homecoming potentially filled with memories, secrets and recriminations.
With Juan-les-Pins pulsing with lights, decorations and the festive spirit, Christmas promises to be filled with fun. But when Elodie learns there is the possibility that her long absent mother may join them she hides her feelings behind a show of indifference and animosity.
Will there be the reconciliation that Gabriella longs for - or will the spirit of Christmas fail to work its wonder?
My Opinion
A nice, cosy read set over the festive period. At just over 200 pages this is a relatively quick novella to read. This is my first book by Jennifer Bohnet but I already have my next one lined up. A story of hope, love and family all make for a great read.
Rating: 4/5
