Description
Carol Drinkwater's memoir of life, love and olive oil in the South of France is a captivating tale of two people who embark on an extraordinary journey to acquire a crumbling olive farm in Provence. With a dream of creating a corner of paradise, they face numerous challenges, including financial ruin and the adoption of a menagerie of animals. As they navigate the local customs and cuisine, they discover the thrill of harvesting their own olives and producing the finest extra-virgin olive oil. This is a story of the highs and lows of purchasing the farm and life in Provence, where the boundaries between work and leisure blur. With vivid descriptions of the sun-baked countryside and the al fresco kitchen, Drinkwater's writing transports readers to the heart of Provence, where friendship, food, and the beauty of nature come together in a vibrant and intoxicating way.
