A Springtime To Remember by Lucy Coleman

Blurb

Paris and the Palace of Versailles have always meant a lot to TV producer Lexie. Her grandma Viv spent a year there, but her adventures and memories were never discussed, and Lexie has long wondered why they were a family secret.

When work presents the perfect excuse to spend Springtime in Versailles, Lexie delves into Viv’s old diaries and scrapbooks, and with the help of handsome interpreter Ronan, she is soon learning more about the characters that tend to the magnificent gardens, now and in the past.

In amongst the beauty and splendour of the French countryside, a story of lost love, rivalry and tragedy unfolds. Can Lexie and Ronan right the wrongs of the past, and will France play its tricks on them both before Lexie has to go home?

Will this truly be a Springtime to Remember…?

Review

There are three stories in this book, the story of Versailles, Lexi's grandmother, and Lexi herself, and all three are cleverly interwoven.

The setting of the book is as important as the plot and is a character in its own right. It's beautifully described and I felt as though I was there, even though I've never visited Versailles.

The storyline itself takes several twists and turns and there is a lovely sense of mystery about the whole thing, with a very satisfying conclusion.
