_________
The grape harvest at the Cambon family's magnificent Provencal vineyard is always a cause for celebration.
But not this year.
When the crop is accidentally destroyed, leaving the estate facing ruin, Clarisse Cambon knows exactly who to blame - her English daughter-in-law Jane.
It's just the latest incident in a decades-long feud that has left Jane feeling like an uninvited guest in her husband Luc's family. But when tragedy strikes and Jane uncovers a shocking secret at the family's heart she wonders if she ever really knew any of the Cambons, especially her husband, at all.
Now she is left with a terrible choice - walk away and see everything the Cambons believe in fall apart, or stay to expose the truth and risk being caught in the storm?

Customer Reviews
Such a marvellous read!
Such a fabulous page-turning read: 423 pages of enduring love, family secrets, tragedy, and heartbreak, all set on a vineyard in beautiful Provence. On several occasions, I thought I had worked out where the book was going, until Carol threw it in a different direction. Carol's wonderful description, as in her other books, played with all of my senses and emotions allowing me to be fully absorbed into the story and share the protagonist's journey. What a superb story from such a great storyteller! I cannot wait for future books!
