Olive Farm

A transporting narrative about the pleasures and hardships of planting roots in a foreign place, the sensual lure of one of the world's most beautiful regions, and the opening of a life to new adventure. In the spirit of Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence and Frances Maye's Under the Tuscan Sun, The Olive Farm is a splendid tour of southern France, from the glamor of Cannes to the Isles de Lerins and a Cistercian monastery on the tiny isle of St. Honorat, to Carol Drinkwater's own small piece of land, which she transforms from an overgrown plot of weeds and ivy to a thriving, productive farm, transforming in the process her own dream of a peaceful and meaningful life into reality.
