Two Tickets to Provence by Valentina Kulieva is a warm, witty, and deeply romantic novel about rediscovery, laughter, and the timeless resilience of love. On the morning of their 25th wedding anniversary, John and Mary expect cake, flowers, maybe a dinner with their grown children. Instead, they are handed two airline tickets to France. What begins as a gift quickly turns into an unforgettable adventure across Paris, Provence, and the sparkling Côte d'Azur. From the moment they step off the plane, nothing goes according to plan-lost luggage, cultural mix-ups, and disagreements over coffee sizes push their patience. Yet, as the couple navigates crowded train stations, lavender fields in bloom, seaside promenades, and candlelit dinners, each challenge becomes an opportunity to laugh, remember, and rediscover the bond that first brought them together in Saint-Tropez decades ago. Through Parisian nights along the Seine, arguments under the Eiffel Tower, lunches that stretch into memory, and stumbles through bustling markets, John and Mary relearn the art of being not just parents, not just partners, but companions in every sense of the word. Their journey becomes more than a vacation-it is a mirror reflecting what it means to grow, quarrel, forgive, and keep choosing each other after decades of life shared. Blending romantic comedy with the vivid beauty of a travel memoir, Two Tickets to Provence celebrates the chaos and charm of France while capturing the universal truths of marriage: that love is both fragile and unshakable, that humor saves more moments than grand gestures, and that even after twenty-five years, a relationship can feel new again. Perfect for readers of Nicholas Sparks, Jojo Moyes, or A Year in Provence, this book will sweep you into cobbled streets, lavender fields, and candlelit terraces-while reminding you that the greatest journey is not across oceans, but within the heart. Whether you're a traveler, a romantic, or simply someone who believes in second chances at first love, Two Tickets to Provence will leave you smiling, hungry for adventure, and maybe booking your own trip to France. Take the journey. Taste the wine. Fall in love all over again.
