Once Upon a Time in Provence

Some places stay with us forever. Some secrets wait years before demanding to be faced.

​

Kate has spent almost two decades building a new life, determined never to look back. But when an unexpected phone call arrives from Provence, the idyllic corner of France where everything changed, the past she has tried so hard to bury comes rushing back.

As memories of a carefree gap year, new friendships and first love collide with the life she has built in England, Kate must decide whether returning to Provence will finally bring the answers she has sought—or reopen wounds that have never truly healed.

​

Richly atmospheric and emotionally compelling, Once Upon a Time in Provence is a novel about resilience, forgiveness and the courage to confront the past. Set against the lavender fields, vineyards and sun-drenched villages of southern France, it is a story of love, loss, hope and the healing power of home—wherever we find it.
