"Ups and downs of life amongst the
olive
groves"--Cover.
Summary:
"'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."--Publisher.
