JOURNEY TO THE SOUTH; A CALABRIAN HOMECOMING

EXTRA VIRGIN

When the author buys a run down Ligurian olive farm the locals are baffled. As the 'Foreign Females' struggle with their farm, the olive farmers of Diano San Pietro are on hand with old-fashioned advice and help.

A HANDFUL OF HONEY

Annie Hawes leaves her home in the olive groves of Italy and sets off along the south coast of the Mediterranean. She is aiming to track down a small oasis town deep in the Sahara, some of whose generous inhabitants came to her rescue on a black day in her adolescence.

RIPE FOR THE PICKING

Sequel to 'Extra Virgin' (5822). Annie Hawes is the proud owner of an olive farm, and whilst she isn't quite as baffled by Ligurian life as when she first arrived, she does wonder when it will start to become normal.
