At the heart of this sweeping historical novel lies an unlikely pairing of winemaking and mining. The story starts in 1861, when Dueñas’ hero, Mauro Larrera, a ruined silver-mine owner, is forced to leave his native Mexico to seek his fortune, a journey that takes him to Cuba and eventually Jerez, the birthplace of Spanish sherry. Dueñas, bestselling author of The Seamstress(Picador PB $19.99) has meticulously researched her narrative terrain, creating an epic story that feels both lushly detailed and authentic to the period. Larrera’s encounter with an heiress to a faded wine dynasty allows Dueñas to gently tease out the role that risk and chance play in her character’s quest for reinvention. Perfect summer reading for history and wine buffs.
