An Angel In Provence: An Angel In Provence\What Happens In Paris (Stays In Paris?) [Paperback]

Nancy Robards Thompson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2009

She's landed a dream project: transforming an eighteenth-century rectory in Avignon into a summer home. But the client insists on hiring local furniture artisan Philippe Beaulieu--young, eccentric, irritatingly... French. Their styles couldn't be more different; his ultramodern designs definitely clash with Rita's classic tastes. But as the saying goes, Vive la différence!

Working closely in the romantic Provençal countryside, the colleagues discover shared passions outside the studio, and recently widowed Rita throws herself into their affair with appropriate French élan, never thinking her heart is at risk. But with her dreams so tantalizingly close, Rita must find the courage to take hold of them...and never let them go.

This review is from: An Angel In Provence: An Angel In Provence\What Happens In Paris (Stays In Paris?) (Paperback)

This is the story of Rita, a forty-something woman who loses her husband without warning. Throughout the course of the book, her challenge is to see herself as something more than a widow.

I loved the way Ms. Thompson dealt with the real issues of a familiar, somewhat dull but mostly happy marriage and the pain over losing that comfort. Rita's struggles to recreate herself and her life are so real and heartfelt, and the mistakes she makes along the way were both touching and hilarious.

Unique, beautifully descriptive and well-paced. I highly recommend it.

This was a quick and easy read that makes you want to go to Provence. The writing made you feel like you were experiencing this adventure along with the character. I ordered another book for a friend, as I read it on the Kindle version.
