Faye has already published a book and is amazed when she’s contacted by solicitors and offered the opportunity to work with the famous film star, Annabelle Beech, to write her biography. When it turns out this will necessitate her saying in a stunning chateau in Provence for six months, she just can’t believe her luck – or the salary she’ll be earning! A visit to the chateau for an interview gives her the courage to resign her post and make the move. She makes a new friend on her arrival – Marlon, a lovely Labrador belonging to Miss Beech, who usually barks vociferously at strangers but who greets Faye as if she’s a long lost friend from the very start.
