About this listen

A summer in Cyprus reveals many secrets in The Olive Tree, the number one international bestseller from Lucinda Riley, author of the bestselling Seven Sisters series.

Read by the author and her son, Harry Whittaker.


A magical house. A momentous summer.

As a young woman, Helena spent a magical holiday at Pandora, a beautiful house in Cyprus – and fell in love for the first time. Now, twenty-four years later and following the loss of her godfather, she has inherited Pandora. And, though it is a crumbling shadow of its former self, Helena returns with her family to spend the summer there.

When, by chance, Helena meets her childhood sweetheart, her past threatens to collide with her present. She knows that the idyllic beauty of Pandora masks a web of secrets that she has kept from her husband and thirteen-year-old son. And that, once its secrets have been revealed, their lives will never be the same . . .

'It will whisk you away to the glorious sunshine of Cyprus . . . refreshingly different' – Daily Express

This title has been published outside the UK under the title Helena's Secret.

The suspense of knowing there was a big secret that would definitely come out.

This was an easy listen. The setting was something I would like to have sometime. The family in the story is a bit complicated and the love they had for each other was sweet. I like Lucinda Riley’s stories. Fun to have her son, Harry, narrating this story with her.

Big fan, but not my fav

I was a bit hesitant about this book, after listening to the 7 sisters series and the Midnight Rose, All absolutely epic and gripping. The story was a bit slow and the narration was not as dynamic as the other books.
Overall it was entertaining and worth the listen but definitely not my favorite.

Great story

I had a hard time engaging at first, and I did not like Whitaker's voice. but it all came together for a very satisfying ending. I wanted more of a storyline for Alexi, because I liked his character. But again, I got my HEA. I love her books.

Not her best

I’m a big fan of Lucinda Riley but this wasn’t her best work. I really didn’t like the female narrator, but Alex’s narrator was fantastic.
