Synopsis

JO THOMAS' HEART-WARMING NEW NOVEL SUNSET OVER THE CHERRY ORCHARD IS AVILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW

Jo Thomas's irresistible novel transports you straight to the mountains of Crete. A gorgeous, sun-filled new read from the author of THE OYSTER CATCHER, THE OLIVE BRANCH, and LATE SUMMER IN THE VINEYARD.

We never forget the one who got away.

Eighteen years ago Nell fell in love in the mountains of Crete and life changed for ever. Nell's daughter, Demi, has never met her dad. Nell never saw him again.

When she gets the chance to return to the hilltop town of Vounoplagia - where everything began - Nell can't resist the urge to go back and find him.

Working on a honey farm perched high up in the hills, there's plenty to keep her busy. And she will quickly realise the town harbours just as many secrets as she does.

But if Nell's favourite romantic films are right, there's a happy ending in store for each of us. All she has to do is seek out the magic of the mountains...

Jo Thomas takes you there.

Goodreads review by Melindam on June 09, 2024

Ugghh, not for me with a too-stupid-to-live female mc, a d@ck of a male mc and a terrible miscommunication trope at its cringiest and most painful. Not all the gorgeous food and setting of Crete could remedy this.......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on July 18, 2017

Transport yourself to Crete this summer, to a rather special Honey Farm (that is missing its bees), a huge mystery as to what is happening to rare herb, masses of great Greek food, and the search for a lost love, in this wonderful new novel from Jo Thomas. Incredibly enjoyable to read and a relative......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on January 01, 2024

The honey farm on the hill was my first book by Jo Thomas and will not be the last. It was also my first chick-lit book after a long break from the genre. This is a book about first loves and moving on. What I really loved about this book was just how quickly I was drawn in and how I really felt inclu......more

Goodreads review by Julie on August 14, 2017

I absolutely loved this book. From the start Jo Thomas takes the reader on a wonderful journey through the Greece that I remember as it comes under attack from mass tourism.
