Sumár recenzie
Olivovník je historický román a romancou od Lucindy Riley. Baletka Helena sa vracia na Cyprus, kde strávila prázdniny v Angušovej vile a zažila prvú lásku. Avšak, po otvorení Pandory pocíti čudný pocit, že uvoľnila mytologickú skrinku plnú zla. Tajomstvá, ktoré sa nabrali v roku, sa začnú odhaľovať. Príbeh sa zaoberá témami mladosti, neúprimnosti a viny a skúma vzťahy a lojalitu v najťažších časoch. Kniha neprekvapuje a postavy, ako napríklad Helena, sú ploché a nezaujímavé. Kniha nevyniká a nedáva žiadnu hlbšiu myšlienku.
