If you enjoyed A Very French Wedding, then you’ll love these other titles by Maeve Haran . . .

There’s nothing like friendship and sunshine to get you through . . .

Penny, Dora, Nell and Moira had always meant to keep in touch, but life got in the way.

So when Penny gets an unexpected legacy, she decides not to tell her overbearing husband but to spend it instead on a reunion on the sun-drenched Greek island they visited at eighteen. But many years later, what was a tiny village full of donkeys and cafes is now a major tourist attraction. And the friends have to face the fact that their own personal difficulties can’t always be cured by a holiday in the sun.

On the way back to Athens, they stop at a tiny island, not yet on the tourist map. In Kyri, they find an opportunity to contribute to a community needing their help and, at the same time, to recapture lost romance and have some healing fun.

But will they relearn the most valuable lesson of all: the true importance of their friendship?

In a Country Garden

More laughter and love in . . .

Are your best friends the last people you should end up living with?

Lifelong friends Claudia, Ella, Laura and Sal celebrated sixty as the new forty, determined not to let age change things. But now they are looking at the future and wondering how to make growing old more fun.

Why not live together – helping and supporting each other when any of them need it – and still keep enjoying life? Joined by Claudia’s reluctant husband, Sal’s energetic new fiancé, and the intriguing Mrs Lal, they ignore the protests of their children and pool their resources into a manor house in the country. Only Laura holds out, determined she still has some living to do, especially now she has met the dashing Gavin through an online dating app.

Life and love certainly haven’t finished with them in what the locals dub a new-age old-age commune. But are your best friends the last people you should end up living with?

An Italian Holiday

Find more sunshine and friendship in . . .

Sometimes you have to go through the clouds to find the sun

Springtime in glorious Southern Italy can go to your head. Especially if you’re escaping not just miserable weather but an overbearing husband, the embarrassingly public loss of your company, an interfering mother who still tries to run your life or the pain of a husband’s affair with a girl young enough to be his daughter.

As the sun ripens the lemons in the groves that tumble down the hillsides and the Mediterranean dazzles beneath them, bossy Angela, extrovert Sylvie, unconfident Claire and mousy Monica leave their trapped lives behind, and begin to blossom in quite unexpected ways.
