Una casa mágica. Un verano para recordar. Amor y secretos bajo el sol chipriota.

Dicen que los que se alojan en Pandora se enamoran. Hace veinticuatro años, durante unas vacaciones mágicas en Chipre, Helena se enamoró por primera vez.

Ahora regresa a Pandora, una casa hermosa pero en muy mal estado que su padrino le ha dejado en herencia, para pasar el verano junto a su familia. No obstante, la idílica belleza de Pandora esconde muchos secretos, secretos que durante años Helena ha sido capaz de ocultar a su marido, William, y a su hijo Alex, que, con solo trece años, se debate entre proteger a su madre o averiguar la verdad sobre su verdadero padre.

El delicado equilibrio de la vida de la protagonista se rompe cuando coincide por casualidad con su antiguo amor y su pasado y su presente chocan por fin. Helena sabe que su vida y la de su familia no será la misma en el momento en que los secretos de Pandora salgan a la luz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Olive Tree is the number one international bestseller from Lucinda Riley, author of the bestselling Seven Sisters series.

A magical house. A momentous summer.

It has been twenty-four years since a young Helena spent a magical holiday in Cyprus, where she fell in love for the first time. When the now crumbling house, 'Pandora', is left to her by her godfather, she returns to spend the summer there with her family.

Yet, as soon as Helena arrives at Pandora, she knows that its idyllic beauty masks a web of secrets that she has kept from William, her husband, and Alex, her son. At the difficult age of thirteen, Alex is torn between protecting his beloved mother, and growing up. And equally, desperate to learn the truth about his real father . . .

When, by chance, Helena meets her childhood sweetheart, a chain of events is set in motion that threatens to make her past and present collide. Both Helena and Alex know that life will never be the same, once Pandora's secrets have been revealed . . .
