Carol Drinkwater: One Summer in Provence

In Carol Drinkwater’s new book, One Summer in Provence, Cecilia Grey appears to have the perfect life: married to Dominic, the man of her dreams, and living on a glorious, thriving vineyard in the south of France. To celebrate their good fortune, she decides to throw a huge party. 

When she is contacted by a stranger who claims to be her long-lost son, Cecilia impulsively invites him for the weekend of celebrations, without mentioning it to her husband. 

One Summer in Provence is a story of betrayal and belonging, and of discovering love in unexpected places.
