Summary

A dream wedding in French wine country becomes the perfect venue for family drama in this heartwarming novel of love, family, and happily ever after. 
 
Matilda Parker is flying to France for what should be the wedding of her dreams. But she soon discovers that her dreams are beside the point. Her mother Freda has spent a year planning the perfect wedding, and nothing—not even a house full of relatives, the imminent arrival of her feckless son-in-law-to-be, or his irritating parents—is going to spoil it. 
 
On the other side of the village, Anna has problems of her own. With all her family about to descend, including her precious sons Joe and Sam, Anna has vowed that nothing will ruin their much-awaited summer holiday. Beneath a sweltering summer sun, two clans, a naughty dog, a gaggle of relatives and friends gather in the Loire. But when a visitor from hell arrives and Joe bumps into Tilly, it looks like all of Anna and Freda’s plans are about to go up in smoke . . .  
 
Tilly was previously published under the title A Perfect Summer Wedding.
