"I enjoyed the book and thought that it was an interesting premise. A bit predictable but I really did not care. If you like Downton Abby, this is a good choice for you."
— Audrey (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes

“Santa Montefiore really knows these people inside and out. I couldn’t put this book down.”
— Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey -
“Montefiore is an able chronicler of family dynamics.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Montefiore has written another atmospheric novel in which an outsider helps heal a family, secrets are revealed, and characters readers care about find the love and happiness they deserve. Readers will be reluctant to leave the golden world Montefiore creates.”
— Library Journal -
“Themes of remorse, recrimination, and reconciliation imbue Montefiore’s otherwise bright and buoyant romance with a satisfying depth.”
— Booklist
Woman From Paris Listener Reviews
-
" Could have used 100+ pages edited out, and really how many times can one author use the word "frisson?" But sometimes it is just as enjoyable to be annoyed by a book as like a book, and this was one of those cases. Very "Downton Abbey-ish" but modern. Lots of foreshadowing that led to the obvious. Incredibly redundant, but not a total waste of time. :) "
— Debdanz, 2/19/2014 -
" Definitely a fluff book with some parts that were very predictable but one shocker that I didn't see coming. Normally that is rare in a fluff book. If you are looking for a light easy read, with very likable characters, I'd definitely recommend this one. "
— Melissa, 2/10/2014 -
" Loved the suspense is she/isn't she, will they/won't they! "
— Rachel, 1/28/2014 -
" Good read with some nice twists. Santa Montefiore never disappoints! "
— Suzanne, 1/19/2014 -
" I loved Santa's first book 'Meet me under the Ombu tree' probably cause this is about young love, but her latest book 'the summer house' was very disappointing. I felt like I was constantly waiting for something to happen and it felt like the central characters were all over the age of 60. Too much description of trees and surrounds instead of taking me on a journey. "
— Nicole, 1/15/2014 -
" It did not match my memory of the French Gardener, which I really loved. "
— Anne, 1/9/2014 -
" An enjoyable quick read. "
— Eileen, 12/10/2013 -
" I saw the big plot point coming, and the ending was wrapped up too neatly. "
— Natalie, 10/5/2013 -
" Nice enough holiday read. "
— Laura, 10/2/2013 -
" Charming and thought-provoking. Title and especially cover are not true indicators of the substance within. "
— Mary, 8/10/2013 -
" Enjoyable read. Had it figured out fairly soon but worth the read! "
— Ellen, 6/13/2013 -
" another gripping story that stays with you long after you finish the book. "
— Julie, 5/26/2013 -
" Although quite predictable, I enjoyed the Frampton family saga. "
— Ellen, 3/24/2013 -
" I normally enjoy Santa Montefiore's novels, but this particular one did nothing for me! I didn't like the characters at all - thought they were all whiney and bratish! "
— Sharon, 2/15/2013
