Gelesen von Simon Evers
Norrie Ford, having been unfairly convicted of murder, has escaped. A lucky chance finds him being rescued by a mysterious girl (the Wild Olive of the title), who sets him up with a new life under a new name in Argentina. He makes such a success of his time there that he is posted back to New York by the company he works for – but not before he has become engaged to be married. Back in New York, he meets up again with the Wild Olive . . .

Excellent!
Mali Taus
This is a great story, with a cleverly woven plot complete with unexpected twist. Simon's reading was excellent, as always, really capturing the emotions of the complex characters. Thank you so much.

I did enjoy this book but there were a few things that I didn't like, namely ridiculous feminine sacrifice, the idea that blood will come out and a somewhat unsatisfactory ending. Also I couldn't understand why the heroine was in love with the hero. I think she loved the ideas she thought he stood for more than she loved him. He wasn't a bad guy but I thought he was a bit shallow.
Beautiful story

It may be a romance, but it's one that men and women alike can enjoy. Simon is a wonderful reader. Unfortunately, I often hear tiny little skips and pops in the recording that detract from an otherwise good technical quality. They aren't large enough to obscure the meaning of the sentence, but they can be distracting.

Intricate and intelligent with interesting characters and locales. Paced myself at the end so it wouldnât be over too soon.
Wild Olive
TheBookworm
A well-constructed romantic novel of surprizing emotional depth. As usual, a professional quality recording by Simon Evers, who knows how to subordinate himself to the story. And i'm not just saying that because he's a Brit. Thanks, Simon. More please! TheBookworm, Manchester, UK.
Good story
