      V dnešných časoch si môžete kúpiť na internete takmer všetko. Ruthie Collinsová si takto zadovážila farmu v južnom Taliansku. Mladá Londýnčanka prišla po rozchode so svojím dlhoročným priateľom Edom o strechu nad hlavou a hrozilo jej, že sa bude musieť vrátiť k mame na nepohodlný gauč. Rozhodne sa preto od základov zmeniť svoj život a splniť si veľký sen – kúpiť si dom a spraviť z neho domov. Na internete vydraží starší farmársky dom v Apúlii aj so sadom olivovníkov. Hneď od začiatku však čelí ťažkým skúškam. Po príchode na miesto musí bojovať s nepriateľsky naladenou kozou a s hustým lejakom, potom ju potrápi nevraživý sused Marco Bellanuovo aj s celým svojím príbuzenstvom. Nuž a nakoniec si uvedomí, že starostlivosť o olivovníky, o ktorých nevie vôbec nič, nie je romantická prechádzka ružovou záhradou, ale ťažká drina. Nečudo, že niekedy má sto chutí vrátiť sa do Londýna... Život sa môže zmeniť jediným kliknutím počítačovej myši, ale všetko dobré – priateľstvo, láska či úroda olív si vyžadujú čas, aby dozreli. Dokáže Ruthie prekonať všetky prekážky, zabudnúť na minulosť a napokon nájsť kúsok svojho dolce vita? Z anglického originálu The Olive Branch (Headline Review, London 2015) preložila Nina Mikušová.

      Del se spolu s manželem Olliem přestěhovali na farmu v Provence, aby zde po letech marného snažení o potomka začali nový život. Ale pouhých šest týdnů poté, co do Francie dorazí, znovu nakládají stěhovací vůz. Del sleduje, jak dodávka odjíždí zpět do Anglie, a najednou si uvědomí, co ji učiní doopravdy šťastnou: nový život ve Francii – bez Ollieho. Nyní se musí vypořádat s rozpadajícím se statkem, se splácením hypotéky a s pouhými několika levandulovými keříky. Co bude pro všechno na světě dělat? Na trhu pořádaném atraktivním Fabianem se Del podaří najít starou knihu receptů, a tak začne péct. Dokáže jí její nově nalezená vášeň pomoct hodit minulost za hlavu a najít skutečné štěstí?

      Dnes si můžete koupit on-line téměř všechno. Ruthie Collinsová se rozhodla pro statek v Itálii. Když se Ruthie jednoho dne probudí a zjistí, že získala vysněný italský statek, její život se doslova obrátí vzhůru nohama. Okamžitě nasedne do auta a vydá se na cestu vstříc novému dobrodružství. Jakmile ale dorazí na místo, její romantické představy berou brzy za své. Vysněný dům je spíše polorozpadlá usedlost a sbližování se s novými sousedy, k nimž patří i bouřlivák Marko Bellanuovo, také není právě nejjednodušší. Romantický příběh plný vtipných situací od bestsellerové autorky.
