Mrs. Endicott's splendid adventure : a novel / Rhys Bowen.

Bowen, Rhys (author).

Summary:

"Surrey, England, 1938. After thirty devoted years of marriage, Ellie Endicott is blindsided by her husband's appeal for divorce. But it's Ellie's opportunity for change, too. The unfaithful cad can have the house. She's taking the Bentley. Ellie, her housekeeper Mavis, and her elderly friend Dora--each needing escape--impulsively head for parts unknown in the South of France. With the Rhône surging beside them, they have nowhere to be and everywhere to go. Until the Bentley breaks down in the inviting fishing hamlet of Saint-Benet. Here, Ellie rents an abandoned villa in the hills, makes wonderful friends among the villagers, and finds herself drawn to Nico, a handsome and enigmatic fisherman. As for unexpected destinations, the simple paradis of Saint-Benet is perfect. But fates soon change when the threat of war encroaches. Ellie's second act in life is just beginning-and becoming an adventure she never expected." -- Provided by publisher.
