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

Product Information

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. Lucinda had already proven she can do historical fiction to an excellent standard but now she has shown more contemporary novels are quite clearly her forte too. Son de estas novelas que es imposible no sentir, no emocionarse y que me hizo meterme de lleno en sus vidas como un personaje más del libro. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Atrapante, tierna, emotiva y muy conmovedora fue esta lectura, lo que comienza con unas felices vacaciones de verano del 2006 acaban siendo unas vacaciones de duras verdades que estaban muy escondidas.

Sprinkle a little drama - because apparently people are not allowed to keep secrets - plus a little pointless jealousy, like in all "good" soap operas, and you have a garbage book that's best fitted for middle-aged divorcees who will never find love again and drown their sorrow in red wine. 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.Helena and William have a Immy but William try’s not to treat Alex any different, but somehow Alex knows there’s more to his biological father than meets the eye. El secreto de Helena ha sido una lectura llena de incognitas, con una trama que transcurre en Chipre. Yet Helena knows that the idyllic beauty of Pandora masks a web of secrets she has kept from William, her husband, and Alex, her son.

The characters are complex and fully developed, they deal with sadness, love, deceit, anger, and because of this they felt realistic and were interesting.Titlul m-a dus cu gandul la ceva mult mai misterios si asta a fost motivul pentru care i-am dat patru stelute. The fact that all the men and all the women abide by these dynamics throughout the whole novel makes the characters feel flat and therefore, extremely uninteresting. Sadly it was not much happening and i do like a real kind of book, but it was boring - when the story raised itself it came down too quickly and it didn't work to save itself for me. Ein eher untypisches Buch für mich, aber erstens hat mich das Cover total angesprochen und ich wollte endlich mal ein Buch von Lucinda Riley lesen. Apart from the fact that this story is predictable on every level and shouldn’t be almost 600 pages long, I just couldn’t take the characters anymore.
