“Full of charm, Fromage à Trois opens up the delicious aspects of Paris and secrets of the French way of loving . . . Witty, voluptuous, very français—adorable!”
—Nina George, international bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop

“Brownlee craftily combines the beauty and charm of Paris with the allure of romance, creating a novel of sensory delight.”
—Publisher's Weekly

“The best way to heal a broken heart is to move to the most beautiful city in the world and surround yourself with wine and cheese. This book will transport you to the streets of Paris and have you laughing out loud over the complications of love in a foreign city as Ella finds her way and heart.”
—Rebecca Plotnick, founder and creator of Every Day Parisian

Ella excitedly prepares for a big dinner with her boyfriend of eight years thinking this is the night that he will finally propose. But dinner leads to a terrible break up. Heartbroken and on the cusp of turning 30, Ella decides to leave Melbourne and packs her bags to move to Paris where she once spent time when she was a different, more adventurous person.

There, she finds a job washing dishes in a café and as any cheese lover does, frequents her local fromagerie. The shop owner Serge is happy to advise her on what kinds of cheeses she would enjoy. He clearly has a thing for her but he just isn’t her type. But their repartee one day leads to a surprising bet — Ella must eat a different kind of cheese every day for the next year.

Game on.

Ella then meets Gaston, a very sexy Frenchman who works as a food critic. He wines and dines her, and is every girl’s French fantasy.

As the seasons change, Ella realizes that – beyond consuming epic amounts of cheese – she’ll need to learn how to talk, eat and love like a Parisian to truly fit in. And between Serge and Gaston, she’ll need to figure out which is the better Parisian to accompany her on this journey.

Victoria Brownlee is an Australian-born food writer. She's spent the best part of the last decade eating her way around the world, including a two-year stint in China where she was the Food & Drink Editor at 'Time Out Shanghai'. In 2016, she traded dumplings for cheese, and is now settled in France with her husband and daughter. 'Fromage à Trois' is her first novel.
