In a city full of dreams, will she find her own…?

It’s 1968 and it’s cold when Felicity arrives in London to stay with her mother, improve her English - and meet a suitable man.

She is already missing her home in Provence and her father, his new wife and their extended family. But she’s only in London for a year she tells herself - and then she can go back to France and do what she really wants and become a painter.

But then she bumps into Oliver who, she thinks, is the most interesting man she has ever met. He lives on a barge for one thing and has a collection of jobs, but his passion is looking for hidden treasures along the shores of the river Thames.

In a word, he’s a mudlarker - and before long Felicity is mudlarking too. She’s also pursuing her dreams and painting scenery for Oliver’s actor friends.

But is Oliver a ‘Suitable Man’ of whom her mother will approve? Felicity doesn’t think so …

Warm, witty, and uplifting, get ready to fall in love with Katie Fforde’s heart-warming new romantic novel.
