The Golden Gals' French Adventure by Judy Leigh

 

The Golden Gals' French Adventure by Judy Leigh-women’s fiction

Shirl works for Fliss who is in her seventies and well off having run and sold a successful lingerie business.  Shirl has a daughter Gemma who has a young baby. Shirl however is the unpaid nanny and doing most of the childcare whilst Gemma romances her new chap who she hasn't yet told about her daughter. Fliss loved Paris in the past and now has a hankering to go back for a holiday and take Shirl with her. Shirl thinks this would be a wonderful opportunity and Gemma can look after her own baby for once, until Gemma announces her own holiday plans. Can Shirl finally get her longed for holiday and rest and Fliss get rid of her boredom?

I really enjoy Judy’s books as they are always that bit more than a story- they have a life message. I liked Shirl and Fliss and Bernard slightly reminded me of “ Allo, Allo ''. Those of a certain age will know what I mean, I'm sure. I very much sympathised with Fliss's upbringing and how a parent can crush a child's confidence for life and how hard it is to change mindset. It’s a read with a smile and a message to live life to the full, and not to listen to those voices of the past that tell you, you can't.  You can, you should and you will. One life live it. A brilliantly entertaining read I more than thoroughly enjoyed

The Golden Gals' French Adventure Sixty-nine-year-old Fliss has lived a life! A career running her own successful business, a beautiful home, a wardrobe full of designer clothes – Fliss has everything she ever wanted. So why does she feel so lonely? Sixty-six-year-old Shirl didn’t expect to be looking after a baby again, let alone a grown woman who should know better. But with her daughter Gemma struggling to adapt to motherhood, and her boss Fliss increasingly reliant on Shirl to run her life, Shirl never gets a moment to herself. Fliss might not be great at life’s chores, but she is great at seizing opportunities, so when the chance for a jaunt to France’s beautiful Brittany comes her way, she decides it’s just what she and Shirl need. And as the sun-soaked town of Plouvannec-Sur-Mer begins to work its magic on the women, they realise there’s another way to live. From cake-laden patisseries, to joyous local fetes, from food, views and beaches to die for, to a community quick to embrace them, not to mention some rather fine French men for company, perhaps it’s not too late for Fliss and Shirl to embrace a new adventure and look forwards to a totally different future.
