Glorious Summer

The beautiful summer of 1937. 

A newspaper advertisement. 

A small clifftop villa for rent, above a bay and small inlet on the French Riviera. Four women, lost in a world of love, marriage widowhood and regret, come together and all are drawn to the sunshine and shores of the Mediterranean. They clash, bond and blossom in the warmth of the summer, and find their spirits stirring when quite unexpected changes occur. Introducing Mrs. Law. Dishevelled, downtrodden, always dreaming. The almost sad, sweet-faced Mrs. Peters. The formidable widow Mrs. Cohen, haunted by faces from the past, terrified of the future. The ravishing socialite Frau. Gärtner. Beautiful, frightened and running scared from a place she thought was home. 

Glorious Summer is a story which rediscovers hope, in spite of a storm rumbling in the distance, waiting.
