I had imagined a non-fiction book about her and her husband's life in France. I was as far off as I could be. This is a romantic and suspense fiction novel. As you enter the story you arrive at a wonderful B&B in Provence. Fia Jennings is helping her aunt and uncle to care for the business, at the same time caring for her teenage twins. When Ali, an attractive professor checks in to the B&B Fia cannot help hoping for a few days of romance.
Things are not what they seem to be though. Ali has other plans. As the story unfolds amid the backdrops of everyday life, Fia has to deal with her family, the business, the attractive professor, and her friend Christoph who suddenly turns up for a long weekend. Christoph and Fia have a history. And, what is the professor really up to? Common family problems are interfering with Fia's plans as she and Christoph try to find out what Ali is up to.
For the suspense part, Paulita Kincer does not shy away from touching on important and difficult questions. The main theme in the suspense part of the book is a sensitive subject: to whom do historical artefacts belong? To the country where they were found or to the country who took them back with them? It is a tricky question and there is no easy answer. The way this part of the book unfolds is intricately written and is taken to a perfect, surprising ending.
I really enjoyed this book. Paulita Kincer is very well balancing a story that plays out on different levels. We get a good glimpse of life in France, its traditions, and its people, as well as a mystery to solve. The characters are well-drawn, as are the surroundings of Provence and Paris. A well-written account of a short time in the life of Fia Jennings, her sorrows, worries, and happy moments. Touching on international history and European travel it makes for interesting, exciting, and varied reading.
