1963. Alexandra arrives at a chateau in Provence: old, substantial, its four large towers seeming to grow out of the soil. It is, she thinks, reassuring in its permanence and solidity. Less reassuring are the three silent children waiting for her inside, her charges for a month: a boy and two girls badly in need of some love, attention, and an English education. Fresh from London and a recent cookery course, Alexandra has always loved a challenge and feels equipped to deal with most things life throws at her. What she is less sure about is whether she'll be able to deal with the children's father - an impossibly good-looking French count with whom she is trying very hard not to fall in love...

There's something so lovely about this story and it felt a bit like a fairytale. I've seen it described as being like The Sound of Music and I'd definitely agree that it shares many of the same attributes and is a similarly delightful way to spend time. It's a light read crammed with new experiences for Alexandra, delicious food and a gorgeous, if slightly rundown, setting. I loved all the characters, especially the Count himself, Antoine, who is a rather dashing, strong Frenchman.
It all moves along at a nice pace, with relationships being developed and changes starting to be made at the chateau. Alexandra is a breath of fresh air for the place as she starts to really settle in and develop feelings for not only the children she is responsible for, but their father too. Fforde transported me to Provence and the chateau and brought the whole setting to life. I could almost imagine I was sat around the kitchen table with a croissant and a glass of rosé.
This is the perfect read if you want to escape to the French countryside with a hint of romance, some feisty female characters, some great kids and some cute animals. I enjoyed it very much and was reminded of the easy charm of a Katie Fforde book. ( )
