I REALLY liked this memoir. It was very well written, poignant, and the author's struggles with her personal life as well as with an olive orchard in Provence, coupled with great novelistic descriptions of the people she dealt with in France were quite engaging - well, it's a great read. Particularly interesting were her insights regarding the loss of her baby to miscarriage and what that meant for life choices and acceptance.
