Aurelian Laverzac ruled his family with
an iron fist. His four sons, now adults, grew up in competition for
their father's interest, for women, and for the vineyard. Two of the
brothers found their own satisfying careers, but the other two are
locked in a struggle to see who will control the vineyard. It is
Aurelian's wish that the vineyard remain in tact and not be split
between the boys. Underlying the turmoil is a secret. Jules, the
youngest son who has the feel for wine making, was adopted by Aurelian under mysterious circumstances.
Because the family loves Jules, this has never been a problem, but
when control of the vineyard is at stake will the secret become an
issue?
If you enjoy family sagas, or soap
operas, you'll love this story. The characters are engaging from
Aurelian to the four sons to the women in their lives. All the
characters feel true to life and make you want to continue reading.
The setting is wonderful. Wine making
has always interested me. The book is factual on the details of wine
production and adds color to the story. I thoroughly
enjoyed the
Laverzac's. It's a good book to curl up with on a winter night –
with a glass of good red wine – and enjoy a time in France.
I reviewed this book for Net Galley.
