Not Quite Nice by Celia ImrieMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Not Quite Nice? What’s not to like about this charming romp along the Côte d’Azur as the author Celia Imrie navigates a fine line between farce and drama. The intricacies of plot are spot on as Theresa, sick of her spoilt daughter and equally spoilt grandchildren, is in dire need of a change of scenery. When she loses her job she heads off to the south of France to contemplate her future. Throw in a melee of ex-pats, financial worries, men who are not quite what they seem, plenty of laughter and mystery and you have a fine debut novel. Fans of Katie Fforde and Peter Mayle will love this, as I did. Rather made me want to beetle off to the sunny South of France and chill out in Bellevue-Sur-Mer....
