New Chapters on the French Riviera
Description
Can a talented chef and a group of writers rediscover joy-and perhaps even create new beginnings?
Eight months after suddenly closing its doors, Michelin-starred chef and Villa Celestia proprietor Guy Lyon is almost ready to begin again. When his friend Sandy Thoreau asks to rent the villa on the French Riviera for a last-minute women's writing retreat, Guy reluctantly agrees.
As Villa Celestia reopens, Guy is swept into the orbit of an eclectic group of writers. Helena and her friend Mandy are tackling their debut novels, Isobel is polishing a cosy crime novel, Liz hopes to reignite her creativity, self-published Lorraine seeks guidance, and Becky... well, Becky plays by her own rules.
Amid sun-drenched days, shared meals, and creative breakthroughs, friendships flourish and unexpected connections form. Together, they discover fresh inspiration, bold new directions, and the courage to turn the page.
An uplifting, escapist journey to the South of France, full of warmth, possibility, and new beginnings.
