The Vintner's Daughter

A Novel

De: Kristen Harnisch

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

The Loire Valley, 1895. When 17-year-old Sara Thibault's father is killed in a mudslide, her mother sells their vineyard to a rival family whose eldest son marries Sara's sister, Lydia. But a violent tragedy compels Sara and her sister to flee to New York, forcing Sara to put aside her dream of following in her father's footsteps as a master winemaker. Meanwhile, Philippe Lemieux has arrived in California with the ambition of owning the largest vineyard in Napa by 1900. When he receives word of his brother's death in France, he resolves to bring the killer to justice.

Sara has traveled to California in hopes of making her own way in the winemaking world. When she encounters Philippe in a Napa vineyard, they are instantly drawn to one another, but Sara knows he is the one man who could return her family's vineyard to her - or send her straight to the guillotine.

A riveting tale of betrayal, retribution, love, and redemption, Kristen Harnisch's debut novel immerses listeners in the rich vineyard culture of both the Old and New Worlds, the burgeoning cities of late 19th-century America, and a spirited heroine's fight to determine her destiny.

Family- Sisters adventures

Totally enjoyed the story - it's of family hardships and new found love. Of course the end was great. I thought the narrators did a great job. would recommend this book and narrator.

Sweet story

I listened to this only because it was included… and I’m glad I did. Very enjoyable and easy to listen to.

Great book

I loved this book. Very well written and the readers were great. I don’t care for wine but enjoyed reading about it.

very interesting, great narrator!

loved listening to the narrator. Made the story easy to listen to, even if it was a bit predictable. a few unexpected twists though made me want to keep listening to the end...

Entertaining Enough

Nice story with great use of languages and culture with a peak of early American. I'm not a wine connoisseur and I believe that would have made this book more enjoyable.
