About this listen

‘A glorious story that celebrates the power of love’ – Bestselling author ADRIANA TRIGIANI

‘I adored The House in the Olive Grove. It is a hymn to friendship and love, and is utterly perfect’ – Bestselling author LIZ FENWICK

Will one week in Greece change their lives for ever?

Chef Maria is running a successful cookery school in her home village of Petalidi, Greece – but she is also running from the secrets of her past.

Food journalist Kayla thought this was going to be just another work trip. But right before she leaves for Greece, she discovers that her whole life is built on a lie.

Jewellery-maker Alessandra has always lived according to her own rules – despite what it has cost her to do so. But she has just had some devastating news.

As these three very different women come together at the house in the olive grove, unlikely friendships blossom and a season of self-discovery begins. Will the sumptuous flavours, sapphire waters and golden sands of Greece give each of them the answers they so desperately seek?

The breathtaking, escapist second novel from Emma Cowell, perfect for fans of Victoria Hislop, Carol Kirkwood and Karen Swan.

Critic reviews

"An enchanting treat of a book. Sunshine and friendship, broken hearts and secrets. Cowell’s exquisite writing is as delicious as the food she describes. Five honey-smothered stars from me." (Jennie Keer)

A great read of Greece, cooking and love

Maria lives her life in a small Greek community where she was born. She has travelled far and wide but comes home after an accident and not only finds herself but she finds friendship and love to. We come to learn how to live through her eyes and at times the plot becomes long winded but a good read nevertheless
