Sisters of the Vine is a standalone novel that tells the story of Liz, a product of the 1950s who follows the example of many of that generation by pinning her hopes of happiness on marriage and children. When she and her husband buy farmland in the Hudson River Valley, Liz develops a deep love for the land and the vineyard they decide to develop there. It’s a story of hardship, discovery, strength, and perseverance.
This well-written story hits the mark on many different levels. It highlights the challenges a woman can encounter in the 1970s as she tries to make her way as an innovative businesswoman. It also emphasizes how determination, hard work, and the support of other women can enrich a life in many different ways. The protagonist is well-developed, very relatable, and it was a pleasure to see her growth as a person in her own right. Although this novel is mainly about Liz and her journey in life, it also provides an interesting education into the techniques and business of winemaking. A highly recommended read.
Sublime Line: “For those who love a story of sisterhood with a strong female protagonist, pour a glass of wine and immerse yourself in this well-written novel.”
