Garlic & Gauloises

Alice Calwin finds herself without purpose in life after the death of her mother, whom she'd been caring for following a stroke. Theo Edwards, a literary journalist, has a sour outlook on life, bolstered by his ongoing divorce, and is feeling the pressure to revitalise his column in the newspaper. They encounter one another at a writers' retreat in France, but Alice's shameful past and Theo's deceptive reasons for being there end up affecting them both in very different ways. When someone finally acknowledges their mistakes, is it ever too late to make amends?
