Book Description

0297844040 978-0297844044 March 28, 2006

A sumptuously illustrated companion to the bestselling Olive Farm trilogy. Carol Drinkwater, whose three books—The Olive Farm, The Olive Season, and The Olive Harvest—sold more than a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone, has produced an entirely new volume documenting life on Appassionata, the farm she shares with her husband Michel. Many of the well-loved locations and a large cast of engaging characters make an appearance, and the local customs, hidden beaches, fairs, culinary pleasures, and off-the-beaten track charms of Provence all receive lovingly detailed attention. Carol’s passion and joy will enchant armchair travelers and fans of her earlier works.

This review is from: The Illustrated Olive Farm: A Newly Written, Illustrated Companion to Her Bestselling Trilogy (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful Memoir of Carol Drinkwater and her husband and how they renovated their abandoned Olive Farm in Southern France. It is so very well written, and the illustrations and photo's in the book are excellent, I loved the book from beginning to the end, and I felt transported into their amazing adventure of renovations to the Olive Farm.
Truly it is a beautiful book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Illustrated Olive Farm: A Newly Written, Illustrated Companion to Her Bestselling Trilogy (Hardcover)
This is the perfect companion to the Olive Farm trilogy which i have read and enjoyed. It was brilliant to finally be able to see the faces of the people i read about and came to care for. Beautiful photography and lyrical description which will enable one to feel as though they are there in the south of France and especially at Appassionata

5.0 out of 5 stars Brought the trilogy together, June 29, 2007
This review is from: The Illustrated Olive Farm: A Newly Written, Illustrated Companion to Her Bestselling Trilogy (Hardcover)
I absolutely loved reading the Olive Farm, Olive Season and Olive Harvest and the Illustrated Olive Farm brought those books to life with all the beautiful pictures. As a Francophile, these books were very satisfying to my soul.
