It is April, late spring. Here in the hills behind the Cote d Azur the olive groves are delicately blossomed, with their tiny, white-forked flowers. Beyond them, perched halfway up the slope of the hill, our belle epoque villa comes into view. Abounding in balustrade terraces, nestling among cedars and palms, facing out at a south-westerly angle, overlooking the bay of Cannes towards the sun-kissed Mediterranean, there it is, Appassionata, awaiting us... THE OLIVE FARM told how Carol Drinkwater and partner Michel fell in love with and bought an abandoned Provencal olive farm. Now, in THE OLIVE SEASON, Carol is pregnant and their ever-loyal gardener is leaving to oversee the marriage of his son. Often unassisted, and with new challenges to face, Carol takes on the bulk of the farm work alone. Water is, as ever, a costly problem, and she goes in search of a diviner who promises almost magical results. But, as the harvest season approaches, dramatic events cast dark shadows of their olive farm.

The Summer Birdcage - Tyler Susan Hitchcocková

I was seduced from John Grey s first scene Ann CleevesDuke s Company actress Kitty Burgess has a stunning future before her - until she vanishes after the opening performance of Aminta Grey s new play, The Summer Birdcage. One of her fellow actors swears he saw her being bundled into a black coach driven by six black horses outside the theatre. Then no more is heard of her - until the body of a young woman is found dead beside the road in Hertfordshire. It appears to be Kitty, so Aminta and her husband Sir John Grey, travel to Bishop s Stortford to identify her. The girl has been so badly beaten it is impossible to tell who she is, but there are three clues - the dress she is wearing, a ring and a copy of the script of Aminta s play, left (perhaps a little too conveniently) in the victim s hands.Back in London Aminta catches sight of a young woman who looks exactly like Kitty but before she can do anything, the woman runs off and is lost in the crowd. Meanwhile, rumours abound at court that Kitty was about to become the king s new mistress and all fingers are being pointed at Lady Castlemaine for having arranged for her rival to be spirited away and killed. And now John Grey finds that is no longer just his wife who is determined to prove Kitty Burgess is alive. It would seem her disappearance - and possible reappearance - is part of some much wider conspiracy, and that Kitty may be about to play the most dangerous, and possibly deadly, role of her life.

The Seas - Samantha Hunt

The Seas took me back to how I felt as a kid, when you re newly falling in love with literature, newly shocked by its capacity to cast a spell... Maggie Nelson [It] blew me away because of the beauty of the language . . . I found myself highlighting about 85% of the book for the language. It is so beautifully written Jodi PicoultMoored in a coastal fishing town so far north that the highways only run south, the unnamed narrator of The Seas is a misfit. She s often the subject of cruel local gossip. Her father, a sailor, walked into the ocean eleven years earlier and never returned, leaving his wife and daughter to keep a forlorn vigil. Surrounded by water and beckoned by the sea, she clings to what her father once told her: that she is a mermaid.True to myth, she finds herself in hard love with a land-bound man, an Iraq War veteran thirteen years her senior. The mesmerizing, fevered coming-of-age tale that follows will land her in jail. Her otherworldly escape will become the stuff of legend. With the inventive brilliance and psychological insight that have earned her international acclaim, Samantha Hunt pulls readers into an undertow of impossible love and intoxication, blurring the lines between reality and fairy tale, hope and delusion, sanity and madness.

The Lamb Cycle â

The rhyme â œMary Had a Little Lamb⠝ told in the styleâ ”and substanceâ ”of the great English poets from Edmund Spenser to Stevie Smith.  In The Lamb Cycle, David R. Ewbank achieves the unthinkableâ ”he writes so convincingly in the style of the great English poets that one could be lulled into thinking that Shakespeare himself was inspired to muse upon the subject of â œMary Had a Little Lamb.⠝ Ewbank captures not only the style of each of the poets he chooses, but also their preoccupations and subject matter. So D.H. Lawrenceâ ™s Mary longs for her lamb as any woman longing for her lover, whilst T.S. Eliotâ ™s Mary is recollected by an old man looking back on his life. Alexander Pope writes an â œAn Essay on Lambs,⠝ and Tennysonâ ™s lotus eaters become â œThe Clover Eater.⠝ Brilliantly written, sophisticated, and laugh-out-loud funny, these poems, enhanced by Kate Feifferâ ™s charming illustrations, will enchant anyone who has ever read an English poem.
