The Olive Harvest. A Memoire of Love, Old Trees and Olive Oil

Carol and her husband Michel, home after long and separate absences, look forward to spending the summer together on their beloved olive farm Appassionata. But a shocking blow leaves Carole alone, and the future uncertain. Feeling isolated and with no olives to harvest, Carole ventures beyond the farm to explore other aspects of Provençal life -from hunting to bee-keeping, the gypsies of the Camargue to the shepherds of southern Alps, the ancient language to the ever-present demand of family and friends. And ultimately, Provence's generous diversity -and Carol's own persistence in sharing it with those she loves -pave a path to joy.
