Philippa's flight

the long version

Light amusement from the bestselling Louise Couper, author of PHILIPPA'S FOLLY Philippa, young and beguiling Dean of Art History, is weary of her own academic success and fed up with the petty squabblings of university life in Dublin. She flees to France where she meets Jack who is handsome, American and rich enough to finance a small farm, complete with goats, in the South of France. A romantic dream of love and the simple life come true? Not quite. When the golden summer in the South of France is darkened by farce, frustration and tragedy, Philippa has to find her own way to a place she can call home.
