Troubled by challenges her own South of France farm is
experiencing--attack by a virulent pest and the premature ripening
of the trees' fruits--Carol realizes new approaches to farming are
becoming essential. Traditional customs have been set aside while
the use of excessive chemicals is putting crop harvests at risk.
Changing patterns within the world's climate demand urgent action.
Carol's quest takes her south through Spain, Morocco, Algeria, and
Italy before she finally returns to her farm. As a woman traveling
alone, she is frequently vulnerable and never more so than in
Algeria where, on her arrival, terrorist bombs devastate the
capital. Determined not to give up, Carol accepts the support of a
network of beekeepers who parcel her across troubled territories.
Through her travels Carol confronts some of the critical issues of
our time--land-care and the harsh realities of diminishing water
reserves--and ends her momentous journey in the company of olive
growers whose vision for the future is remarkable and ingenious.
This is a gripping narrative of an intrepid and unusual journey
around the western shores of the 21st-century Mediterranean.
