CAROL DRINKWATER'S "The Olive Farm told the lyrical tale of her
real-life romance with partner Michel and an abandoned Provencal
olive farm that they fell in love with and brought--a double love
story, recounting with wit, warmth, and alluring detail the
couple's attempts to bring their dreams to life. "The Olive Season
is Carol Drinkwater's much-anticipated follow-up to "The Olive
Farm, and begins with a vivid account of her exotic Polynesian
wedding to Michel and the couple's return to the south of France as
husband and wife, where they find much hope--and work--to greet
them. With a farm consisting of fifty trees producing some of the
world's finest olive oil, no longer is the challenge one of
restoring the farm but in charting its development and growth.
France's rigorous agricultural standards are responsible not only
for some of the world's best produce but also for one of its most
infuriating bureaucracies. In order to obtain the coveted AOC
rating, Carol and Michel are forced to both expand their farm and
to negotiate a Byzantine world of forms, officials, and
inspections, including the surveying of their land by a water
diviner, who, via a power akin to extrasensory perception, can
point out the existence of underground water sources on their
property. Further complicating matters is the fact that Carol has
become pregnant with the couple's first child and has just accepted
a demanding acting role. As the harvest season approaches, dramatic
events cast shadows over the olive form. With all the warmth and
vibrancy of the Mediterranean sun, Carol Drinkwater tells her
passionate, moving, and utterly uplifting story.
