‘I absolutely adored this charming, thought provoking story… All in all the perfect wintry-night-by-the-fire read.’ Bookaholic Confessions
‘I have to say that this book was a true delight from start to finish… certainly one of my favourites stories I have read this year.’ 5/5 Chloe’s Chick Lit Reviews
A year to forget. The perfect escape. And a little Christmas magic…
Touching, uplifting, and filled with delicious French cooking, The French for Christmas is the perfect Christmas treat.
Evie used to LOVE Christmas, but this year she can’t wait for the tinsel and presents to be a distant memory.
When her best friends offer the use of their cottage in the beautiful French countryside, Evie jumps at the chance. With her soon-to-be-ex-husband, celebrity chef Will Brooke, plastered over the news with his latest ‘love interest’, leaving the country seems like the perfect plan.
Armed with her French grandmother’s tattered notebook of recipes, Evie is determined to ignore Christmas altogether and bake herself back to happiness.
And when Evie meets her next-door neighbour – the très gorgeous doctor Didier she finds a very willing taste-tester. But is it possible that he could be interested in more than just her Tarte Tatin?
With snow falling, a special Réveillon dinner and a little Christmas magic in the air, could Didier even be the one to thaw Evie’s heart? Or will a visit from the ghost of Christmas past change everything?
‘The French for Christmas' by Fiona Valpy was just beautiful. I can't think of another word to describe it better than what 'beautiful' does. It was written with so much heart and devotion to not only Evie, but to the world around her, too. I was insanely jealous of her Christmas cottage retreat! If escapism is what you're needing, then you'll find it within this gorgeous story of forgiveness, letting go, and finally moving forward… Absolutely loved it!’ Becca’s Books
‘I felt really Christmassy reading this! The main part of the story is set during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the setting is gorgeous and the food sounds delicious. Alongside all the festive-ness there is also a more serious underlying storyline to this novel which makes it truly touching and extremely gripping. All in all the perfect wintry-night-by-the-fire read.’ Bookaholic Confessions
‘Fiona Valpy pens a truly wonderful novel about life, love and learning to move on from unfortunate tragedies. Filled to the brim with compelling characters, The French for Christmas is a well-written story that is touching, inspiring and heart-warming.’ Life with Joy
‘A heart-warming and truly beautiful Christmas book.’ 5/5 Paris Baker’s Book Nook
‘This was a lovely, cozy read which would be perfect for reading during those cold winter months.’ Books and Book Ends
‘Our main character Evie was a little treasure who has had a heartbreaking time recently and I found myself routing for her hoping for a happy ending for her… This was a great read with a lovely festive touch.’ Rea’s Book Review
