The olive farm : a memoir of life, love, and olive oil in the south of France

The Olive Farm is a tale of the real-life romance between actress Carol Drinkwater and Michel, a television producer, and of an abandoned Provencal olive farm - Appassionata - which they fall in love with and buy. And as the olives turn from green to violet, luscious grape-purple to a deep succulent black, we are drawn seductively into Carol and Michel's vibrant Mediterranean world. We experience the highs and lows of Provencal life : the carnivals, customs and local cuisine; the threats of fire, the adoption of a menagerie of animals and a ready-made family ; potential financial ruin as well as the thrill of harvesting your own olives by hand - especially when they are discovered to produce the finest extra-virgin olive oil. The Olive Farm capture the joys of living in a warmer clime, of eating fresh Mediterranean food, swimming in one's own pool, and sharing all this with the love of one's life.
