In this charming novel from the bestselling author of The Dressmaker's Gift, food was once the language of Evie's soul. Now, can she remember the recipe for happiness?
Revised edition: Previously published as The French for Christmas, this edition of The Recipe for Hope includes editorial revisions.
Evie's running away: from her soon-to-be ex-husband's shiny new life, from the devastating loss of her baby last year, from a memory-filled London and, most particularly, from Christmas. A remote cottage in the South of France seems like the perfect peaceful place to soothe her sorrows.
But the countryside soon proves anything but quiet, from the rooster crowing at dawn to the barn owl hooting through the night--not to mention Evie's handsome neighbour, doctor Didier, who works away in his garage at all hours.
Unexpectedly, the sights and sounds of life amid the sparkling beauty of the Dordogne give Evie a renewed sense of inspiration, and with her French grandmother's recipe book for company, she begins to rediscover her love of cooking. Soon, the tight-knit community begins to enfold her, reminding Evie what really matters in life.
But are Didier's gorgeous blue eyes on more than Evie's delicious dinners? And can a cancelled Christmas--complete with a Not-Christmas feast for two--heal her heart?
