Bonne Vie in Provence

Georgie Grossman

What if the place you were meant to call home had been waiting for you all along?

Tucked along a bend in the Rhône River lies Bonne Vie, a once-grand villa with stories hidden in its stones and a magic that hums beneath the land. When American couple Wendy and Dave wander through its overgrown gates, they feel an irresistible pull-one that leads them into the adventure of a lifetime. Joined by their friends Lee and Josh, they embark on a journey filled with renovations, cultural quirks, small-town mysteries, and unexpected allies-from a watchful cat to a devoted gardener with a lifetime of secrets.

As the villa's history unfolds through multiple voices-including Bonne Vie itself-the characters discover that some places are alive... and some places choose you.

Heartfelt, humorous, and steeped in Provençal soul, Bonne Vie in Provence invites readers to

slow down, savor the moment, and believe in second chances-no matter your age or origin.

Bonne Vie in Provence Review for Publisher's Page

Bonne Vie in Provence is an irresistible blend of memoir, fiction, and armchair travel-the kind of story that makes readers dream of sun-warmed stone walls, lavender fields, and fresh baguettes from the village boulangerie. Written with warmth and lyrical charm, the book transports you straight into a forgotten villa brimming with history and heart.

From the moment an inquisitive cat narrates the chaos of new arrivals, the storytelling sparkles with personality. Wendy and Dave's leap into French village life is equal parts humorous and inspiring, while Lee and Josh bring design flair, culinary passion, and emotional resonance. The inclusion of local voices-like Pomme, whose life has been intertwined with the land since childhood-deepens the novel's authenticity and soulfulness.

What truly sets the book apart is the voice of Bonne Vie itself, transforming the villa into a living character whose "magic" quietly weaves every storyline together.

Perfect for lovers of A Year in Provence, stories of reinvention, or anyone who believes that certain places carry a heartbeat, Bonne Vie in Provence is uplifting, sensory, and unforgettable. It's a book that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover what matters most.
