Overview
This charming three-book paperback collection brings together bestselling author Caroline James's warmest, funniest tales of friendship, reinvention and second chances. The French Cookery School whisks readers to rural France, The Cruise sails to the Caribbean with three unstoppable women, and The Spa Break gathers old friends for a weekend that changes everything. Together they make a lovely gift set for readers who enjoy escapist fiction with heart, humour and plenty of holiday sunshine.
About the Books
The French Cookery School follows Waltho Williams as he transforms his French home, La Maison du Paradis, into a cookery school, mixing mature students, a celebrity chef and romantic mishaps into one delicious summer. The Cruise introduces Anne, Jane and Kath — one widowed, one unmarried, one almost divorced, all aged sixty-three and refusing to fade quietly into the background — as they swap convention for a Caribbean Christmas cruise full of sunshine, rum and long-overdue joy. The Spa Break reunites four lifelong friends, Bridgette, Emily, Serena and Marjory, to celebrate Bridgette's seventieth birthday, only for a glossy brochure's promise of serenity to turn into an adventure none of them expected. Across all three novels, Caroline James writes with warmth, wit and genuine affection for characters rediscovering themselves later in life. Her hospitality background and experience working alongside celebrity chefs bring authentic, mouth-watering texture to the culinary and travel settings, while her light comic touch keeps every page turning. These are books to read on a sun lounger, in a book club, or curled up on the sofa — stories that remind readers reinvention, romance and adventure have no age limit.
