A sweeping historical epic by an author whose novels have sold over 6 million copies worldwide.

A ruined merchant sets sail to seek his fortune in the 19th-century Spanish Empire. Haunted by his lost wealth, he gambles the last of his money on what will become the greatest adventure of his life - and eventually, his salvation.

When Mauro Larrea meets Soledad Montalvo, wife to a London wine merchant, she drags him into a most unexpected future, from the new Mexican republic to magnificent colonial Havana; and from the West Indies to the Andalusia of the 1860s, when the wine trade with England made the small city of Jerez legendary.

A Vineyard in Andalusia tells of glories and defeats, of silver mines, family intrigues, vineyards, cellars, and splendid cities of faded grandeur. This is a story of courage before adversity, and of a destiny altered for good by the force of passion.

Industry Reviews

`It beams readers with pinpoint accuracy to the heart and soul of 1860s Mexico, Cuba, and Spain on a magic carpet ride that they will be sorry to have end.' - Leila Meacham, New York Times bestselling author of Roses

`Duenas is a gifted writer ... A Vineyard in Andalusia is destined to become a classic.' - Armando Lucas Correa, international bestselling author of The German Girl

`Maria Duenas is a true storyteller.' - Kate Morton, author of The House at Riverton

`Evocative, tender, and lush' - Diana Gabaldon, author of Cross Stitch, on The Seamstress

`Richly satisfying' - FT on The Seamstress

`A complete delight.' - Judy Finnigan on The Seamstress

`In [A Vineyard in Andalusia], Duenas demonstrates the same breezy and entertaining style she wields to such great effect in her previous works. She is an author who seems to put story first, more interested in delivering a good old-fashioned yarn than in trying to impress you with literary pyrotechnics.' - Washington Post
