Acerca de esta escucha
In this romantic tale in the Escape to France collection from bestselling author Fiona Valpy, Sara has one summer to make wedding wishes come true. But can she save her own happy-ever-after?
Revised edition: Previously published as The French for Always, this edition of The Season of Dreams includes editorial revisions.
Once upon a time, in an ancient château nestled above a golden river among the vineyards of Bordeaux, Sara and Gavin opened a wedding venue where fairy tales come true…But when Sara discovers Gavin in the arms of a wedding guest, their own happiness crumbles to dust. Faced with five beaming couples yet to say ‘I do’, she realises it’s up to her to host the rest of their first make-or-break season alone.
For the summer to go off without a hitch, Sara must bury her broken heart and her fear that she’ll soon be packing her bags for London, and lean on her local team of helpers. So when handsome Thomas Cortini, wine salesman and amateur DJ, crosses her path, Sara’s thrilled to draft in further reinforcements—and finally dares to hope the summer might not be a total disaster…
But with her life savings at stake, can Sara pull off a successful season, save her budding business and—just maybe—find her own happy-ever-after before the summer ends?

Gina has lost her perfect job, her boyfriend, and her favorite aunt all within the space of a few months. So when she inherits her aunt's ramshackle French house, Gina decides to pack her bags for the Bordeaux countryside - swapping English weather for blue skies, sunshine, great wine, and a fresh start. What she hasn't factored in is a hole in the roof, the most embarrassing language faux pas, and discovering family secrets she was never supposed to know.

From the London pop scene, to the opera stages of Europe; from a tiny Greek island, to a stifling manor house full of secrets and deceptions; from the sun-drenched Queensland coast, to the silent outback; Angela and Ellie are two women both looking for something. One in search of her identity and her memory; the other in search of the love that she had and lost; theirs is a duet whose last note will not be sung until the heart-stopping climax, when a shadow from the past returns to claim them both.

In the spirit of Zoë Heller’s Notes on a Scandal and Tom Perrotta’s Mrs. Fletcher, an explosive and thought-provoking novel about the far-reaching repercussions of an illicit relationship between a young girl and a man 20 years her senior. Masterfully told from three diverse viewpoints - victim, perpetrator, and witness - Putney is a subtle and enormously powerful novel about consent, agency, and what we tell ourselves to justify what we do, and what others do to us.

A nice story
The narrator Elizabeth has such a beautiful voice and does a really good job, but at times it is almost too pleasant, not enough inflection makes it easy to zone out, which might also be the writing, narrative of what she was reading at the time. I was really trying to listen, but even something as lovely and beautiful as she is can have a monotony. She does the different voices quite well though. A+ there.
The story itself is nice too maybe not the best I've ever read but it was enjoyable.

Skip the French for Love
I was disappointed in the first book of the series. The narrator grated on me, and the story was boring. I barely made it through it.
I find that I either love a Fiona Valpy book or I profoundly do not.
This is Fiona at her best. The storyline kept me interested, and the narrator was excellent.
You will miss nothing by skipping the French for love I wish I had.

Couldn’t get past the narration
I am very fond of the author’s stories and assume I would have liked this one too, but the lack of range in the narration made it hard for me to get past the first few chapters.
