Set in a house on an olive grove in northern California, The Roots of the Olive Tree is a beautiful, touching story that brings to life five generations of women--including an unforgettable 112 year-old matriarch determined to break all Guinness longevity records--the secrets and lies that divide them and the love that ultimately ties them together.

I enjoyed meeting all the generations in this family and didn't want to leave them when the story ended. Offered as a giveaway on the facebook bookclub I mediate and sending off to stardust! Congrats and hope you enjoy!!

This was sent to me by my bc friend deereads some time ago, and I've just realized that I forgot to record a journal entry when it arrived. An unforgivable mistake for a BookCrosser!! Looking forward to starting this book tomorrow.

Finished reading this book today and am glad that I took the time to get to know the Keller women. An interesting story of five generations of strong and determined women, with a couple of unexpected twists thrown in. The roots run deep . . .
