Quick listen on audio, and a sweet story of a family winery. Plot heavily focuses on introspection and relationships, so if you love character development and growth in your reads, nab this title!

I really loved this book. It was far different than most fiction I read (usually in the mystery genre). It is written in the first-person perspective which was very effective for this story. Though it was about a woman (which I am not) who…
Great story of a very flawed family and thei family-owned vineyard. About working hard to make love win out.

The author's melange of scientific insight…

Excellent story by a good writer. You just don't know which way it's going to go, almost right up until the very end. Sustains your interest throughout - the reader becomes enlightened simultaneously with the characters. Great book for…
