NOW A MAJOR NEW TV SERIES: CAROL DRINKWATER'S SECRET PROVENCE Life
and love, olive groves and bee hives in Provence - further
adventures in the bestselling Olive Farm series from the author of
THE FORGOTTEN SUMMER 'Drinkwater is a rare writer who tackles other
people brilliantly...Vibrant, intoxicating and heart-warming'
SUNDAY EXPRESS 'She writes so well you can almost smell the
sun-baked countryside' BELLA After sixteen months of travelling
round the Mediterranean in search of the ancient secrets of the
olive tree, Carol returns to her beloved olive farm in the south of
France, to her husband Michel and his burgeoning family. However,
the homecoming celebrations are overshadowed by disturbing
discoveries. The plight of the honey bee has become an
international crisis and Carol is faced with unsettling news about
the hives on her own olive farm. While the multinational companies
are pushing for 'bigger, better, bumper' crops, a small band of
farmers and ecologists are calling for a halt to many of the modern
farming malpractices that are endangering the planet. Carol is
amongst them. But it puts her own farm, her idyll, under threat. At
what point do you turn your back on all that you believe in and all
that you have been fighting for? This is the story of how Carol and
Michel struggle with some difficult choices, and how they decide to
deal with the unavoidable disappointments and inevitable
responsibilities that come with running an organic farm.
