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.

A proper family saga; happy & sad, funny & a bit corny but totally satisfying.

A triumph

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.

One of her best

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 uniquely intriguing Novel, based on family secrets, lies, and hope, played out in a stunning location and an amazing family home called “Pandora” beautifully narrated throughout and immensely enjoyed:) Aug 2024. thank you 🙏 Bernice Best.

I have heard many of Lucinda's books, but this was hard to get through and disappointing.

Not the best

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..

Great novel, but the male narrator didn’t work for me

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.

A thoroughly enjoyable book

Beautiful book

If you like Lucinda’s books then you’ll like this! Same tribulations, different storyline but didn’t stop me finishing it in 3 days

Classic Lucinda
