Lost in Translation by Audrey Davis
Blurb
Charlotte Egerton and family are off to Switzerland, after husband Dom bags a big-time job promotion.
But Charlotte isn’t exactly yodelling with delight at the prospect. Not since a chance discovery cast a shadow over her ten-year marriage. And navigating twisty Swiss roads and getting to grips with French only adds to her woes…
Following a bumpy encounter with an arrogant German, Charlotte is far from convinced the expat life is for her.
With doubts about Dom — and concerns for her best friend, Ruth — plaguing her mind, will Charlotte embrace the Swiss way of life, or are some mountains just too hard to conquer?
Review
I adore books set in foreign climes and I simply love ones which involve relocating, and this one was refreshing because Charlotte was so reluctant to move. Far from embracing her new adventure, she dreads it and has trouble settling in.
I'm not surprised, really, not with a husband like Dom and temptation like Jurgen.
This story highlights how easy it is to bury one's head in the sand and to keep on carrying on so as not to rock the boat. But once it's rocked, the novel explores love, friendship and being true to one's heart.
A lovely visit to Switzerland from the comfort of my armchair.
