The first in Carol Drinkwater’s bestselling trilogy
set on a Provençal olive farm.
‘ All my life, I have dreamed of acquiring a crumbling,
shabby-chic house overlooking the sea.... a corner of
paradise where friends can gather to swim, relax, debate,
eat fresh fruits picked directly from the garden and great
steaming plates of food served from an al fresco kitchen
and dished up on to a candlelit table...’
The Olive Farm is a double love story. It is
a lyrical tale of the real-life romance between actrress
Carol Drinkwater and Michel, a TV producer, and of an
abandoned Provençal olive farm - Appassionata -
which they fall in love with and buy. And as the olives
turn from green to a deep succulent black, we are drawn
seductively into Carol and Michel's vibrant Mediterranean
world. We experience the highs and lows: the local customs
and cuisine; the threats of fire and adoption of a menagerie
of animals; the potential financial ruin and the thrill
of harvesting their own olives ...
