The Chateau

A nostalgic tale of two lovers journey through war-torn France from the author of SO LONG, SEE YOU TOMORROW

‘Exquisitely perceived and fastidiously rendered’’
The New York Times

It is 1948 and a young American couple arrive in France for a holiday, full of anticipation and enthusiasm. But the countryside and people are war-battered, and their reception at the Chateau Beaumesnil is not all the open-hearted Americans could wish for.

‘Reading The Chateau is like meeting a very old friend with whom the conversation is always spontaneous, intimate, restorative and unpredictable’
Sally Vickers
