AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Journalist Nadine Williams is heart-broken following the untimely death of her French-born husband, Olivier. 

Long-time friend Jane, alarmed at Nadine's despair, suggests a return to Europe to restore her joie de vivre: ending in Paris where Nadine's love for Oliver was borne.

Their journey from Barcelona to Paris is peppered with hilarious battles about food, fashion and politics, which challenge their friendship. But slowly the fun of travelling together in the glorious Loire Valley, Provence and Paris takes over.

And when, alone now in Paris, Nadine meets a French man who resembles Olivier, she is confronted by her grief once more as well as a conundrum: does she want another man to share her future or does she now prefer her freedom? 

Finally, Nadine begins to recover and to redefine herself as a widow and realises that loss is the legacy of women, as gratitude for memories replaces grief in her heart. ' (Publication Summary)
