Restoring a French olive farm - an actress's lyrical account that will appeal to all admirers of UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN.
The Olive series is the story of the love affair between actress Carol Drinkwater and television producer Michel and the olive farm, Appassionata, which they fall in love with, buy and restore with the aim of producing the finest olive oil. In this entirely new book Carol and Michel have documented their life on the olive farm and her stories of Provencal life, the customs and colourful carnivals, the adoption of animals, the highs and lows of harvesting and the constant concern about water.
