Carol Drinkwater

Personal journey into heat of Mediterranean

In the terrific bestselling olive series by writer and actress Carol Drinkwater, bestselling author of THE FORGOTTEN SUMMER

'She writes so well you can almost smell the sun-baked countryside' BELLA

'Spellbinding' CHOICE

'One cannot resist Drinkwater's courage and joie de vivre, nor the enormous appetite and enthusiasm for her subject' Wendy Holden DAILY MAIL

Since Carol Drinkwater moved to an olive farm in France she has developed a passion for the olive tree and the culture that has grown up around it. From the eastern shores of the shimmering Mediterranean to its western coast this fruit is farmed. Its silvery-green branches have inspired painters and poets, but who first pressed its 'bitter berry' and transformed it into liquid gold?

In quest of its secrets and traditions, Carol embarked on a solo adventure round the Mediterranean basin. Transporting readers across the olive's ancient paths, celebrating its venerable past, tracking trade routes, unearthing unlikely stories, encountering peoples of today and bygone times, Carol comes full circle, back to her farm in the sun-baked Provençal hills.

The Olive Route

A Memoir of Life, Love and Olive Oil in the South of France

"The stars shimmer like spilled handfuls of glitter. The day is beginning to rise with a faint mist. As I turn my head, ghostly halos, auras of light, appear and disappear ... The silence is truly awesome. Not a bird, not a whisper of wind, not a breath of life. Only the two of us, a most implausible pair, standing shoulder to shoulder gazing upon an awakening heaven" Returning to their home after an extended absence Carol and her husband Michel are looking forward to summer together on the farm. 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 Provencal life - from hunting to bee-keeping, the ancient language to the ever-present demands of family and friends. And ultimately, Provence's generous diversity - and Carol's own persistence in sharing it with those she loves - paves a path to joy.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

Fire Chief Lincoln Reed is known for his heroics in the fire department and in the bedroom. Life is a never-ending good time. Until flight trauma surgeon Mackenzie O'Neil lands in the middle of the accident scene he's working...and then it turns out she's his new neighbor. Too bad she's immune to flirty first responders.




Mackenzie is on a crash course with burnout. She's got a scar on her face and a shake in her hands. A temporary job as in a small-town family medical practice is just the prescription. She'll learn to meditate. Sleep more. Take up gardening.




She definitely won't take her shirtless, firefighting neighbor's hot body for a test drive.




But Linc and his tattoos are very persuasive. What's a harmless little adrenaline-fueled fling between neighbors? It's all naked fun and games until the shadows from Mack's past find their way into her present. Can Linc be her hero when she needs him the most or will their scars ruin everything?

Jennifer L. Holm

Hardcover (1 to 2 lbs)

Inspired by Newbery Honor winner Holm's own Italian-American family, "Penny from Heaven" is a shining story about the everyday and the extraordinary, about a time in America's history, not all that long ago, when being Italian meant that you were the enemy. Most of all, it's a story about families--about the things that tear them apart and bring them together.

Bryher Mackenzie

For daydreamers and the young at heart, this stunningly illustrated journey through a star-encrusted sky captures the beauty of our world--and of bonds that cannot be broken by any kind of distance. Nana speaks of astronomy often, telling fantastical tales from many moons ago, tales her granddaughter wonders at. Tonight, with hot chocolate and constellations for company, they wait. Moonbeams bounce off the crashing waves, and, at last, Nana's old friend appears in the sky: the Night Whale, swimming among the stars. Nana and the child climb onto the Night Whale's back, and she whisks them off--over twinkling cities, through the shimmering colors of the northern lights, and back again. But this is only the beginning of the journey for Nana. As she embraces her grandchild, she promises she will always be out there. Even when Nana and the Night Whale soar back toward the ether, leaving the child behind, she can still feel her grandmother's love and hear the Night Whale whispering, "Anything is possible." Debut author Bryher Mackenzie and illustrator Gillan Eilidh O'Mara craft a magical voyage through the heavens that reassures young readers that goodbye is not the end.

Lucy Cousins

With Little Red Riding Hood leading the pack, Lucy Cousins retells three favorite fairy tales in all their original power, with a spare text and bold art exuding her cheerful wit. "Grandmother, what big teeth you have." "All the better to eat you with, my dear!" An impressively hungry (and soon-dispatched) wolf. A clever and well-housed little pig. Helpful neighbors feasting on the, well, vegetable of their labors. From best-selling, award-winning author-illustrator Lucy Cousins, here are three classic children's tales--"Little Red Riding Hood," "The Three Little Pigs," and "The Enormous Turnip"--showcased together in one rousing volume. These well-loved stories take on new energy as Lucy Cousins brings them to vivid life in a not-to-be-missed collection.

Atinuke

The creators of the award-winning Baby Goes to Market follow the family at dawn through the lively streets of Lagos, where they are selling lemons--and learning the letter L. L is for Lemons. L is for Lucky. L is for . . . LOVE. L is for lemons, and L is for lingering before leaving home. L is for everything to look at along the way: lightning and lazy lions and a lonely leopard. L is for the loud, large city where you will sell your sunny fruit--L is for Lagos! L is for the light streaming out of your windows as you arrive home late at night. And best of all . . . L is for love. Part buoyant alphabet book, encouraging toddlers' first sounds and words, and part immersion in the joyful bustle of a busy Nigerian marketplace, this outing from Atinuke and Angela Brooksbank is a feast for the senses brimming with rich detail and visual humor.
