‘One of my favourite authors’ Marian Keyes
‘If you’ve had to cancel your holiday plans this summer, don’t worry – this beautiful new novel will transport you to sunnier climes…’ – HEAT‘S READ OF THE WEEK
In Sheila O’Flanagan’s stunning new novel, two women face up to shocking truths about the men they’ve loved – and start to make their own decisions about what to do next…
Deira isn’t the kind of woman to steal a car. Or drive to France alone with no plan. But then, Deira didn’t expect to be single. Or to suddenly realise that the only way she can get the one thing she wants most is to start breaking every rule she lives by.
Grace has been sent on a journey by her late husband, Ken. She doesn’t really want to be on it but she’s following his instructions, as always. She can only hope that the trip will help her to forgive him. And then – finally – she’ll be able to let him go.
Brought together by unexpected circumstances, Grace and Deira find that it’s easier to share secrets with a stranger, especially in the shimmering sunny countryside of Spain and France. But they soon find that there’s no escaping the truth, whether you’re running away from it or racing towards it . . .

A road trip of rediscovery. Daira is not one to break the law, but here she is driving the car she stole from her ex-boyfriend on a road trip through France. Grace recently unexpectedly lost her husband and this is her farewell trip of sorts to him. He has sent her on a treasure hunt across France. Daira and Grace meet one another on the ferry to France and decide to travel together. What follows is a lovely story of friendship, grief, discovery, healing and romance.
What a wonderful story! I loved both of these characters and related to both of them on a different level. Loved how healing this road trip was for both of them. Both women had gone through so many things and I think sharing their stories, their hopes, and their dreams was so cathartic for both of them. Loved getting to know these ladies and traveling France through the pages of this book.
