Summary

Brand new from the #1 bestselling author of The Old Ducks' Club

'A glorious romp that readers will adore. Maddie's warmth and humour will put a smile on your face' Judy Leigh

Sisters Kitty and Jenny haven’t spoken since a very disappointing Carvery lunch. Kitty, sixty-two, thinks Jenny is turning grey. Jenny, sixty-six, thinks Kitty needs to grow up!

So when both sisters inherit a farmhouse in rural France, it gives them the perfect chance to heal the rift between them. Except the farmhouse is a wreck, the garden is terrorized by a flock of chickens, not to mention a donkey with a serious flatulence problem!

Kitty is determined to enjoy herself, especially when she meets gorgeous French builder, Leo. Ooh la – la! And Jenny finds the fully stocked wine cellar helps enormously with missing horrible husband Paul – hic!

And as the two sisters begin to repair their fragile friendship, they discover that being bad is actually very good for the soul.

Escape to the French countryside for a laugh-out-loud feel-good adventure with the #1 bestselling author of The Old Ducks' Club

An uplifting and hilarious story about living life to the full and always always having fun! Perfect for fans of Judy Leigh and Dee Macdonald

perfect Holiday Read

Realistic characters, a pleasure to listen to from page one. The story shows that it's never too late to put the past behind you.

Pleasant escapism

Thoroughly enjoyed this book especially being a similar age.
I felt the pleasant escapism into another world, of being able to relate to the thoughts and behaviour of the characters .I found myself willing them to make the right choices and it was nice to have a happy ending without it being sickly sweet.
I would definitely recommend it to my sisters and friends of a similar age group.

Great tale

Loving sisters falling out how very true to life. I wouldn't like to spoil the tale for another reader. They made me laugh as well as feel their pain.

Pleasant and enjoyable

Likeable characters, evocative descriptions of France and an overall feeling of bonhomie. A pleasant and enjoyable book about two sisters in their sixties rekindling their friendship. I’m not entirely sure if they “behaved badly” as the title suggests but it didn’t seem to matter in the end.

Stilted

Struggled to finish.
Couldn't hear half of it, shouldn't try an accent as couldn't make out what was said.
Story would have been ok , but for the reader.

Loving, bickering sisters

A fun, captivating book recognising the love between two older sisters who renew their friendship while renovating a cottage in France.

Well written and read. Very funny in parts. Anyone who harms fought with her sister will appreciate the sentiments.
