About this listen
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.

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.

The narrators
What a treat for Lucinda Riley and her son to read the book. She had such a lovely voice and what a great actress too. Very sad that she has now passed away. Thank you for all your stories.

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.

Not the best
I have heard many of Lucinda's books, but this was hard to get through and disappointing.

Great novel, but the male narrator didn’t work for me
This was a beautiful novel that I truly enjoyed, but the male narrator’s voice pitch was quite unpleasant for me. At times, I even considered giving up on the audiobook because of it, but I pushed through to the end. While the story itself was wonderful, the narration took away from the overall experience..

Narration
The female voice was not right for Helena. It was stilted and lifeless and the toddler voice was utterly jarring. I despair at some narrator choices. How can they get it so wrong?
I nearly gave up on several occasions, but dislike not finishing a book.
