This book is published under two titles: The Olive Tree and Helena's story.

The first book I read of this talented author was Hot House Flowers. Eagerly I searched for more stories and have consistently loved her work. Entranced by the Seven Sisters series, this book appeared unexpectedly.

What courage it takes to depart from a tried and true genre. The Olive Tree still leaves me wanting more.

Truly this book illustrates both literally and verbally the depth of her talents.

Narrated by Lucinda Riley herself and her son - the story takes us to Cyprus as we join a family on their summer holidays. All families have secrets and secrets are bound to come out.

If Lucinda ever decided she wanted a career change - she'd be snapped up as a narrator in a heartbeat. Her son does a superb job as well. Truly would love to spend a meal with such a talented and vivacious family.

Loved the story. Am very partial to the Jacobite risings. Love how she wove characters in from Firebird. Bravo!

If you like Diana Gabaldon; Kate Morton; Jojo Moyes you will enjoy this.

Great story about the life of a young GP just starting out with a newly minted medical degree. The narrator does a superb job of talking you back to Ireland. Some listeners may struggle to understand the brogue- but it makes the story all that better!

This was a lovely story of courage, love, humanity and family during WWII. The true heroins and heroes in the French Resistance. Frances' dirty little secret regarding the Jews and the horror of the camps.

Love Kate Morton and Lucinda Riley. Bought this book only since some else mentioned this story was as lovely as those from the aforementioned authors. I am so glad to find another author who held my rapt attention for the whole performance.
