A wonderfully evocative memoir of life, love and olive oil in the South of France. Carol Drinkwater has built up a huge readership for all three of her Olive Farm memoirs. All three books were top ten Sunday Times bestsellers, with THE OLIVE HARVEST reaching No.3. Between them they have sold almost half a million copies in Britain alone. All three books received excellent reviews: 'The new leader of the pack' The Times. 'Beautifully written with a great sense of humour, it captures perfectly the dreamy atmosphere of the South of France and its people' Woman and Home. 'A spellbinding memoir' Choice. 'She writes so well you can almost smell the sun-baked countryside' Bella. 'Refreshingly honest, this book brings alive an unknown side of Provence and, as always, ensnares readers in a web of sheer delight' Good Book Guide. 'Drinkwater is a rare writer who tackles other people brilliantly ... Vibrant, intoxicating and heart-warming' Sunday Express.

Actress Carol Drinkwater is probably best known for her role as Helen Herriot in the BBC series 'All Creatures Great and Small.' Also an accomplished novelist, she has achieved bestselling status with her much-loved memoirs of life on an olive farm in Provence.
