INVITATION TO PROVENCE

When Franny Marten meets her lover's wife, Claire, she wonders what else can go wrong. Surprisingly, Franny and Claire become such close friends that when Franny is invited to France to meet family, Clair goes along for the adventure. Carrington MacDuffie's voice curls around the words of this romance as the two women relax in Provence, enjoy the simple village life, and meet men who win their hearts. Yet there are secrets in the family that Franny and Claire unwittingly discover. MacDuffie contrasts light French accents and American intonation. Love and hate are also set in sharp contrast in this charming story. M.B.K. 2005 Audie Award Finalist © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE/JULY 05]
