The third in the bestselling story which began with THE OLIVE FARM - from the author of THE FORGOTTEN SUMMER.

Returning to their home after an extended absence, Carol and her husband Michel are looking forward to summer together on the farm. But a shocking blow leaves Carol alone and the future is uncertain. Feeling isolated and with no olives to harvest, Carol ventures beyond the farm to explore other aspects of Provençal life - from hunting to bee-keeping, the ancient language to the ever-present demands of family and friends.

Ultimately, Provence's generous diversity - and Carol's own persistence in sharing it with those she loves - paves a path to joy. A vibrant, intoxicating and heart-warming memoir that captures perfectly the dreamy atmosphere of the South of France and its people.
