Recent Reads: Five French Hens by Judy Leigh

My review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This cover is quite mis-leading, as it makes it look like it's a Christmas book, and there isn't a single scene that is set at Christmas time. It starts in February, and ends a few months later.

Five French Hens is about five ladies in their 70s discovering that life isn't over.

Jen is 73, and just engaged to Eddie, who has decided to go on a stag do with his son to Las Vegas.  Jen, and her friends decide they want to go to Paris, and so off the go!

Rose, a widow who teaches piano, Pam, who loves her dog and isn't interested in a relationship with anyone, Tess who is boisterous but has a husband who loves golf, and finds her embarrassing, and Della, whose only problem is money, and who is very much in love with her husband even after all these years.

I really enjoyed this book, even if in the back of my mind I was wondering about when Christmas would fit in!

Five French Hens was published on 5th December 2019,  and is available to buy on Amazon  and on Waterstones.  I've found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!
