A warm, witty romantic comedy about an expat wife starting over in Switzerland, where a suspect marriage, a struggling best friend and a mountain of culture shock collide. Feel-good British women's fiction with humour, heartbreak and hope.
New Country. New Language. New Doubts About Her Marriage.
Switzerland. The land of cheese, chocolate and ... cheating husbands?
Not every man in the country is doing the dirty on his wife. And Dom would never cheat on Charlotte. Would he?
A glittery card and a string of furtive phone calls have cast a shadow over their ten-year marriage. It's hard enough navigating twisty Alpine roads and a foreign language without doubting the man she moved here for.
Add in worries about her best friend Ruth and a bumpy encounter with an arrogant German, and Charlotte is far from convinced the expat life is for her.
Can she embrace her new world, or are some mountains simply too high to climb?
Lost In Translation is a standalone romantic comedy, for readers who love expat fresh starts, marriage-in-trouble drama, Alpine settings and friendships that hold firm. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Holly Martin and Emily Harvale.
