Pond Lane and Paris (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A sophisticated Parisian romance After faithfully nursing her late husband William for eight years, Laura Brooke is slowly re-emerging into the world. Laura decides she must convert her home Pond Cottage into a Bed & Breakfast. But she needs cash to renovate it and William’s failed career as an artist and hotel owner left her with nothing. Short of money, she finds a job with Oliver Farringdon, ambassador to an international organisation in Paris – he’s divorced and needs a ‘lady-watchdog’ to supervise his teenage daughter Charlotte. Laura thinks a move to Paris is just what she needs but can she cope with her demanding employer and with Paris after her solitary celibate life in the depths of the English countryside? Leaving Hampshire mud to live among the chic Parisians is a culture shock. Laura’s position in the ambassadorial household is tricky and the servants resent her. Besides, keeping tabs on Charlotte isn’t easy. Oliver has strict views about daughters, as well as about everything else but despite his sophisticated yet snooty French girlfriend Agnes, he’s attracted to Laura… As Oliver attempts to woo her, Laura begins to pine again for Jack, her best friend Melanie’s husband, who she knows she can’t be with. Laura finds herself torn between two men and two places… What or who will she choose? Can she find love somewhere in between Pond Lane and Paris? Jane Eyre meets Nancy Mitford in this story of life and love in two countries. Pond Lane and Paris was nominated for the RNA Foster Grant Award.
