Description
The Vineyard A Novel by Maria Duenas is set in Mexico, Cuba, and Spain in the 1860s. It's a story about ambition, heartbreak, and desire, spanning the New World and the Old. Mauro Larrea's fortune comes crashing down after a calamitous event, forcing him to gamble on a daring plan that wins him a neglected house and vineyard in Spain. However, his plans are derailed when Soledad Montalvo, the wife of a London wine merchant, bursts into his life, determined to regain the property which was her family's legacy. As Mauro becomes increasingly drawn to the rich culture of his new surroundings, he finds himself torn between his original intentions and a consuming passion for Soledad. The novel vividly conjures the noise and grit of silver mines, the sophistication of the Mexican capital, and the earthier lure of ancient vineyards, as the wine trade with England transforms the Andalusian city.
