Will one week in Greece change their lives for ever?
Chef Maria is running a successful cookery school in her home village of Petalidi, Greece – but she is also running from the secrets of her past.
Food journalist Kayla thought this was going to be just another work trip. But right before she leaves for Greece, she discovers that her whole life is built on a lie.
Jewellery-maker Alessandra has always lived according to her own rules – despite what it has cost her to do so. But she has just had some devastating news.
As these three very different women come together at the house in the olive grove, unlikely friendships blossom and a season of self-discovery begins. Will the sumptuous flavours,
sapphire waters and golden sands of Greece give each of them the answers they so desperately seek?

Why We Loved It
We absolutely adored Emma’s debut novel, One Last Letter from Greece, and The House in the Olive Grove is equally brilliant.
Once again Emma handles difficult issues in such a sensitive and poignant way. She is such an accomplished writer, her descriptions of the location immediately take you there, but is the way she creates the complexities in her characters and the relationships between them where she excels. Built around the joy of cooking, honesty, self-discovery, friendship and love, this is a book you will be unable to put down.
Utterly captivating, one of our Favourite Summer Reads! Highly Recommended!
