I read this trilogy quite a while ago now, but is one of my favourites.
Carol Drinkwater, better known probably as an actress, tells the tale of her real-life romance between herself and Michel a television producer and their olive farm in Provencal.
The Olive Farm - This was a book I couldn't put down. It takes you to the mediterranean world of living and tells of their ups and downs of living there and trying to get this farm up and running. It has a few tears on the way but once read I had to go straight onto the sequel.
The Olive Season - This was as good as her first book 'The Olive Farm'. Once again whisking you away to the world of the mediteranean and olives and sunshine. Carol is now pregnant and their gardener is threatening to leave. The harvest season approaches and she has to tend this with much doubt and apprehension trying to find water to ensure a good harvest. As the harvest season approaches there are dramatic events which may hamper the running of their farm.
The Olive Harvest - Loved this book. It lived up to its expectations having read the previous two in the trilogy. Carol writes these really well and feel privelaged that she wanted to share her story of the ups and downs of running the olive farm with Michel.
After reading the trilogy I then requested the 'Illustrated Olive Farm' on wish list for Christmas and have enjoyed browsing through all the photographs of the actual farm etc. Brings the other books to life.
