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

Originally published: Woodstock, N.Y. : Overlook Press, 2001.

The author describes how she and her husband purchased an abandoned olive farm in the south of France and how their hard work transformed it into a thriving, productive farm, bringing new peace and meaning into their lives.

This is British television actress Carol Drinkwater's lyrical account of a new life in France; about her house, Appassionata, and the trials and tribulations of acquiring an olive farm, restoring it, farming the olives, overcoming the heartaches of taking on a "new" French family and understanding slowly the workings and lifestyle of a vivacious Provençal community.
