Summary
A summer in Cyprus reveals many secrets in The Olive Tree, the number one international bestseller from Lucinda Riley, author of the bestselling Seven Sisters series.
Read by the author and her son, Harry Whittaker.
A magical house. A momentous summer.
As a young woman, Helena spent a magical holiday at Pandora, a beautiful house in Cyprus – and fell in love for the first time. Now, twenty-four years later and following the loss of her godfather, she has inherited Pandora. And, though it is a crumbling shadow of its former self, Helena returns with her family to spend the summer there.
When, by chance, Helena meets her childhood sweetheart, her past threatens to collide with her present. She knows that the idyllic beauty of Pandora masks a web of secrets that she has kept from her husband and thirteen-year-old son. And that, once its secrets have been revealed, their lives will never be the same . . .
'It will whisk you away to the glorious sunshine of Cyprus . . . refreshingly different' – Daily Express
This title has been published outside the UK under the title Helena's Secret.

A thoroughly enjoyable book
I really enjoyed listening to this book, although at the beginning and towards the end I did have to adjust the settings to slow Harry Whittaker down a little. Otherwise the narration was excellent and I was totally absorbed in the story.

I enjoyed the book very much but felt that the narration let it down except for Alex's voice which was perfect

One of her best
I loved the Seven sisters series, but this one is a bit different having the two voices. I think it works very well, a very enjoyable listen.

A triumph
A proper family saga; happy & sad, funny & a bit corny but totally satisfying.

Amazing
I didn’t want to listen to this because of bad reviews. However i decided this was the last Lucinda book I would ever have as I have listened to them all bar this one. How I enjoyed it. Every emotion used and I giggled like a child listening to Alex’s diary. Please give it a go. It was lovely to hear Lucindas voice
You are a big miss Lucinda x

Took a while to take my interest
I've loved all her other books but this one didn't really catch my attention. I was too late to return it though so I sped it up to listen to.
It gets pretty messy as the story goes on, the secrets we keep.
I liked some of Alex's observations I thought they were funny.

Loved it.
Took me a little while to get used to the narration but it was well worth persisting. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

One of Riley’s best.
Enjoyed listening to the life challenges of a big family set against a Mediterranean backdrop. Harry Whitaker sounds like Adrian Mole!
