When harsh words are said amidst the branches of an olive tree, the life of Yani Souvris changes irrevocably.
Set in the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece, The Olive Tree is the story of Yanni Souvris. When words are spoken in the branches of an old olive tree, his life falls down around his feet. Leaving his sheltered valley existence for the city, Yanni meets Anna, Christos and Adam - others who also have histories to hide. The Olive Tree is a story of how the sins of the fathers are born by the sons, weaving tragedy through the family tree. It is a story of human self-deception amidst earthy passions. It is a lyrical book.
