The Book Club book
This is a wonderfully evocative mystery, set in Provence in the 1920s. Joseph, a young journalist, is invited to the south of France to interview a great painter of the age, Edouard Tartuffe. There he also meets the artist's niece, Ettie, who is there to help her uncle.
But each of them has their secrets. And, over this hot summer, the secrets will be revealed.
