The Forgotten Summer: Blog Tour

ByCarol Drinkwater

Dear readers, to celebrate the publication of THE FORGOTTEN SUMMER we’ve organised a blog tour featuring exclusive content on a different blog each day for one week. I hope you enjoy hearing more about my writing process, the people who have inspired me, and of course revealing more of the world of Luc and Jane and indulging your senses in the South of France.

We’re kicking off today with an extract, read by me, to whet your appetite.

Head to the French Village Diaries blog tomorrow for an exclusive Q&A.

Exceptionally, during that first weekend of December, entrance was free to everyone, thus offering citizens the opportunity to say farewell to a woman who had…

Bantry’s midsummer heat wave

Byadmin

Bantry is floating at the water’s edge and all this week the town has been bathed in heat; a glorious midsummer heatwave.  This is a different Ireland to the land of my memories, of my childhood, although in those recollections, the sun is always shining and the corn is high even when it was not…
