The Olive Farm |
Perhaps just the thought of yet another saga of an expat's Mediterranean idyll sets your teeth on edge. If so, read no further. But you will miss a treat because Carol Drinkwater has the story-teller's knack of drawing you into the romance and drama of her life which is centred around an abandoned olive farm in the hills above Cannes.

The Olive Season |
If you read Carol Drinkwater's first book The Olive Farm (bwl 10), you won't need me to encourage you to read this one. OK, it's escapist, but it's not all honey and roses and for anyone who has enjoyed any sort of love affaire with Provence and the Midi, it will arouse all sorts of nostalgic memories. And if it needs a saving grace, it doesn't in any way patronise the locals, unlike some who shall be nameless!
