Synopsis
The Olive Season by Carol Drinkwater
Second in the trilogy from the bestselling author of The Olive Farm and The Olive Harvest.
"I scan the terraces, planted with row upon row of ancient olive trees. It is April, late spring. Here in the hills behind the Cote d'Azur the olive groves are delicately blossomed, with their tiny, white-forked flowers. Beyond them, perched halfway up the slope of the hill, our belle epoque villa comes into view. Abounding in balustrade terraces, nestling among cedars and palms, facing out at a south-westerly angle, overlooking the bay of Cannes towards the sun-kissed Mediterranean, there it is, Appassionata, awaiting us..."
The Olive Farm told how Carol Drinkwater and partner Michel fell in love with and bought an abandoned Provencal olive farm. Now, in The Olive Season, Carol is pregnant and their ever-loyal gardener is leaving to oversee the marriage of his son. Often unassisted, and with new challenges to face, Carol takes on the bulk of the farm work alone. Water is, as ever, a costly problem, and she goes in search of a diviner who promises almost magical results. But, as the harvest season approaches, dramatic events cast dark shadows of their olive farm.

For me, to read is to learn, to reflect, to escape, to think, to contemplate and my time for space and calm.

I love reading books I wouldn't normally choose before everyone else gets to read them!

Lovereading is not only an amazing site, but it's one of my very favourites. It's like visiting a fascinating bookstore, but better.
Rebecca Jayne Barrett
Lovereading is like booking a holiday, you don't know what it will be like and it is a whole new experience.
Sue Burton
A well laid out site, I love the fact that is separates paranormal fiction from fantasy and horror, which other sites don't.
Jen Rainbow
Because of Lovereading I have broadened my reading horizons with some really great books that I probably would never have chosen myself.
