Escape to Italy with The Olive Branch. The irresistibly romantic new novel from Jo Thomas, award-winning author of ebook runaway bestseller The Oyster Catcher.
It's amazing what you can buy online these days: memorabilia, fashion accessories, a crumbling Italian farmhouse...
After a Prosecco-fuelled girls' night in gets out of hand, Ruthie Collins awakes to discover that she has bid for her dream Italian home online - and won. Recently out of a relationship, a new start is just what Ruthie needs. Anything is better than sleeping on her mum's settee.
But arriving in Southern Italy, Ruthie doesn't know the first thing about running an olive farm. And with new neighbours, the tempestuous Marco Bellanouvo and his fiery family to contend with, all Ruthie wants is to go back home.
Life can change with the click of a mouse. But all good things - friendship, romance, and even the olive harvest - take time to grow. Can Ruthie finally put the past to rest and find her own piece of the Dolce Vita along the way?

Good Storyline, AWFUL Narrator
Would you try another book from Jo Thomas and/or Rachel Atkins?
I'd never listen to another book by this narrator.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Rachel Atkins?
No way! I spent the entire time turning up the volume and turning it back down. Atkins ruined this book for me. She alternated between yelling and whispering. Truly awful.

More enjoyable than anticipated!
While the story can be predictable at times, the narration is wonderfully enjoyable and makes the story more real! This is a great book to listen to while driving or doing tasks that do not require your full attention.

Overall Sweet Story, But Slightly Annoying Main Character
I generally loved the story! My only issue was that the last fee chapters, before the end of the book, the main character became very whiny, wishy-washy, and annoying. But it was a lovely story!

Slow and repetitive
This story started out pretty good but about half way through became unbearably repetitive and cliche. I also couldn’t stand how the reader constantly whispered.
