In a remote Andalusian valley, Manni Coe sets out to rebuild a crumbling 150-year-old farmhouse. Surrounded by olive trees and on the banks of a river, it's the perfect home for his unconventional family of three.

But when visitors from across the river bring tragedy, they lay bare Manni's own fragile foundations. As family bonds are tested and old wounds resurface, the rhythms of Southern Spain's land, weather and work offer unexpected healing. Tender and quietly joyful, this is a heart-mending book about human connection, nature's gifts and the power of love in all its forms.

Manni Coe grew up in Yorkshire and Berkshire and now lives between Andalusia and Dorset. He works as a private tour guide in both Spain and around the world, and is a registered olive oil farmer who produces extra virgin olive oil. He is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling memoir brother. do. you. love. me.
