The Olive Tree: The bestselling story of secrets and love under the Cyprus sun

Product Information

Das Buch ist insgesamt recht gut, ich würde es aber eher als leichte Strand- und Sommerlektüre empfehlen. I also didn’t need female characters like Jules blaming themselves for not having been good enough wives after episodes of insanely immature and irresponsible behavior on behalf of their husbands.

I’m a big big big fan of Riley’s The Seven Sisters series, so I’m extremely disappointed that this is my first experience with one of her standalones.Why did the author feel the need to give her male characters permission to treat their women like that?

This was a brave step for the author to do as she has become synonymous for her historical fiction and the current series she is working on. One of the main questions Alex has amongst all the confusion flashing through his brain not to mention having to deal with the intolerable Rupes or the fact that his step sister Chloe is making an appearance is the fact that he has never known who is biological dad is.Lucinda mentions in the acknowledgements that this was a book that she first started writing 10 years ago while on a family holiday and then she left it but last year discovered a draft in her desk and decided to rework it. I have loved everything she has written since her first book Hothouse Flower and each subsequent book has been brilliant and has showcased the incredible writing talents that Lucinda has. Bueno ahora si con mi opinión y quiero decir que me ha parecido una historia sencilla pero bien real y bonita, la autora no recurre demasiado al drama desagradable o sin sentido y eso que se encuentra en ese género, pero la forma en que esta narrado, ambientado y junto con esos personajes tan maravillosos se ha convertido en una lectura que disfrute de principio a fin. To be fair, Lucinda Riley has been popping up on my radar for some time now, so when The Olive Tree was gifted to me at Christmas I was super excited to jump straight in.

Things change when William’s friend Sacha and his family are due to be staying with them as Helena with the help of a certain someone get the dilapidated house into a liveable condition. The book touches on issues of class in the different ways that Alex and Rupert are raised, and the lifestyle that Sacha has created for his family. I also didn’t need so many men apologizing to each other for having stepped on their territory, and by territory, I mean their wives. Many different types of loving relationships are represented in this book – love for a child, for a husband, a parent, or a friend.Am iertat-o pentru căderea mea în păcat pentru că am găsit în spatele ei o poveste care m-a fermecat. Es lo primero que leo de la autora y me ha gustado mucho, sin duda quiero leer mas de ella, sobre todo la serie de "las siete hermanas" que ya leí su sinopsis y me intereso mucho.

Did you find the ending satisfying or would have wanted some of the characters to have developed differently? The author sets up the story nicely describing the house itself and the surrounding countryside and gives us time to get to know Alex. Probabil că dacă nu m-ar fi atras atât de mult coperta cărții nu i-aș mai fi acordat nici măcar această a doua șansă. Al principio tenemos a Álex que en 2016 llega a Pandora y al encontrar su viejo diario comienza a recordar lo que ocurrió 10 años atrás, en aquel verano y esta contado en primera persona, son unos meses de descubrimientos, situaciones dolorosas, un primer amor, recuerdos del pasado e incluso aventuras. Simpaticno, toplo, zanimljivo, uz likove o kojima bi voljela citati i dalje, ovaj me roman bas zabavio.ans après y avoir passé un été inoubliable, Helena est de retour à Pandora, lamagnifique demeure chypriote dont elle vient d’hériter, avec mari et enfant. At the difficult age of thirteen, Alex is torn between protecting his beloved mother, and growing up. Tengo que decir que Lucinda Riley sigue sorprendiéndome, a pesar de estar escrita hace diez años según comenta ella, es una historia que te atrapa enseguida, tenemos unos personajes muy reales y humanos, con sus defectos, con sus problemas y muchos secretos. The Olive Tree is quite hefty at nearly 600 pages but I did read it in two sittings so absorbed did I become in the story. Todos los personajes están ahí por algo, poco a poco toda se va hilando perfectamente y todos y cada uno de ellos son necesarios.
