A beautiful house boat on the Thames. The chance to fulfil her dreams. A life adventure awaits?
t's 1968 and it's cold when Felicity arrives in London to stay with her mother, improve her English, do a secretarial course - and meet a suitable man.
She is already missing her home in Provence and her father and his new wife and their extended family. But it's only for a year she tells herself - and then she can go back to France and do what she really wants and become a painter.
And then she bumps into Oliver who is quite the most interesting young man she has ever met. He lives on a barge for one thing and has a selection of jobs including looking for hidden treasures along the shores of the river Thames.
In a word he's a mudlarker - and before long Felicity is mudlarking too. She is also pursuing her dreams and painting scenery for Oliver's actor friends.
But is Oliver a Suitable Man of whom her mother will approve? Felicity knows she will not ?
Love, tangled relationships, and a real life adventure lie at the heart of Katie's Fforde's heart-warming new novel.
