Sixty-one-year-old Maxine Sweet has a new life stretching in front of her.
Her longed-for retirement is finally here and she's ready to enjoy it with partner Russell. Ready that is, until she gets home early to find Russell in flagrante delicto with a female friend.
With her best laid plans in tatters, Max has a choice to make - mope at home or spread her wings. And when a chance comes to bask in the French sun for a glorious month, there's only one thing for it. Suitcase packed, Max heads off to the Brittany town of Plouvannec-Sur-Mer - home of tempting boulangeries, breath-taking beaches, not to mention some rather fine looking men of the perfect vintage.
As the irresistible French joie de vivre takes over and new friends welcome her, Max realises that perhaps it's not too late for a whole new life. A new future full of adventure and maybe even some romance is just one brave decision away...
