The Season of Dreams by Fiona Valpy

4.5

I thoroughly enjoyed ‘The Season of Dreams.’ The story was filled with vibrant dreams for Sara and Gavin, even though some of them took unexpected turns. The stunning chateau in France served as the perfect backdrop, and I found myself enchanted by the captivating weddings and the colorful local characters that came to life on the pages.

Having read ‘The Dressmaker’s Gift’ and ‘The Beekeeper’s Promise’ a few years ago, I almost wished I had revisited them before diving into this adventure. Fortunately, I remembered just enough to fully appreciate this story.

What truly captivated me were the diverse weddings that Sara orchestrated. From a young couple radiating joy to an inspiring older couple, a lovely same-sex couple, and even a rock star duo, each wedding was a delightful exploration of love. I was especially taken with the vintage Dior wedding gown—it was simply priceless! The media frenzy surrounding one couple added an extra layer of excitement.

Sara’s journey of rebuilding her life was incredibly engaging. However, I felt a bit disappointed that the intriguing discovery of an SS jacket didn’t receive the attention it deserved. Despite that, the book was a delightful escape, filled with charm and celebration!
