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

Product Information

Both Helena and Alex know that life will never be the same, once Pandora’s secrets have been revealed. She spent the first few years of her life in the village of Drumbeg near Belfast before moving to England. Godfather, it’s also the place where she had an idyllic summer romance twenty four years ago a time that had a great impact on the rest of her life. I've read mixed reviews and some note that this might be one of Riley's weakest, so I do very hope that's the case. Simpaticno, toplo, zanimljivo, uz likove o kojima bi voljela citati i dalje, ovaj me roman bas zabavio.

The poignancy of the meaning behind the story that we as human beings are all capable of making mistakes and that no one’s perfect. Helena try’s desperately to keep those secrets well hidden but somehow it becomes closer to her reality than she like’s.Thankfully, so far my readers have been so supportive of The Olive Tree, and understand that it is a different book for me, and have read it accordingly, without comparing it to my other books.

There are numerous characters to introduce and initially I felt there were too many for the reader to focus on but really they soon all become important players with something to add no matter how major or minor.Both Helena and Alex know that life will never be the same, once Pandora's secrets have been revealed. One was from Helena, the ex ballet dancer who has brought her family to her childhood vacation home in Cyprus that she has just inherited from her god father. I didn’t need an insufferable 13 year-old narrator displaying misogynistic traits who felt compelled to imagine a future in which he fully controls his current love interest’s actions.
