SOLVED. Novel set in 1940s about British woman who moves with husband to Provence, France. [s]

I am a librarian searching for this book for a patron. He remembers it is set around the time of World War 2 but isn’t really about the war. It focuses on a British woman who moves with her husband (who is possibly a British Lord or at least well respected) to Provence, France. That’s about all he could tell me.

I found one searching online that is set a decade before but I'll mention it just in case!
Perfume from Provence by Winifred Fortescue.

In the early 1930s, Lady Winifred Fortescue and her husband left their native England to settle in Provence, the legendary region of France along the Mediterranean. Perfume from Provence is the story of their renovation of their new home, of their involvement with stonemasons, craftsmen and gardeners, and their life in a quaint village.

The reviews mention that the book takes place before WWII.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will pass it on to my patron and update if it's the right book or not.
