Description
A charming second-chance love story for fans of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Does first love deserve a second chance?
During her first week at art college, Rosie Jackson, almost seventeen, locks eyes with the charismatic Peter from across the room of their nude figure drawing class, and the course of her life is changed forever.
Now, on the cusp of sixty-five and recently widowed, Rosie is slowly coming to terms with a new future. And after a chance encounter with Peter forty-seven years later, she is brought back to that summer of 1968, when she gave her heart away to love, pain, and loss, and when she dared to dream boldly of a life in Paris. As Rosie and Peter pick up where they had left off, they both begin to wonder what if . . .
Told with warmth, wit, and humor, We’ll Always Have Paris is a moving and uplifting novel about two people giving love a second chance in later life—the choices they make, the lives they lead, and the love they share.

Reviews
"Give this to readers who enjoy tales about second chances and later-in-life love." —Booklist
“Fizzes with warmth, humor, and tenderness from the first page to the last . . . I adored it.” —Cathy Bramley, author of Appleby Farm
“A gorgeous novel about life, choices, and love.” —Sun
"Watson has written a breath of fresh air kind of book. A beach read for any season. . . . Readers may be familiar with the story, but it never gets old. Especially for a new crop of baby boomers who may be in the same predicament, wondering if love can ever make us feel like WE were teenagers again." —Women About Town
"Lovely. . . . A story that reminds us that love has no boundaries—certainly not age—and that we should grab any chance given to us with both hands. Watson delicately handles the shift in family dynamics when someone dies. She deals with the pain and anxiety of losing a husband and a parent and the uncertainty when family members move on with their lives. It has heart, romance, and truthfulness to it." —Lisa Talks About
"We'll Always Have Paris is a story packed tightly with love, family. friendship, and hope. . . . The more I read of this book the more entranced I became. . . . A thought provoking, reflective story told from the heart." —Crooks on Books
“A beautifully told story of one life, two loves. . . . [Sue Watson] sensitively and beautifully tells a story of grief, motherhood, families, friendships, and love. I was enthralled. We’ll Always Have Paris is not just a book about life after widowhood, but also a book about redemption.” —Kraftireader
“This book isn’t just a romance. . . . it’s about finding yourself and being true to yourself. . . . Heart-warming and beautiful.” —Rachale's Reads
