My Book Review > 'Late Summer in the Vineyard', by Jo Thomas

‘Late Summer in the Vineyard’ is not just a book of love; it’s not just about a woman who falls for a man. Yes, of course, there’s a budding love affair; but there is much more!

Emmy, an English woman in her mid-thirties who devoted her life to helping her Dad (since her Mom’s death), will ultimately find the man of her life, her soulmate. But, first and foremost, she’ll start a new life; she’ll fall in love with France, winery, wine-making… and a frail old French woman (the owner of ‘Clos Beaumont’) who will help her to unveil her real self.

Against all odds, the shy and sweet woman who knew nothing about wine, wine making, or even France will have Madame Beaumont’s best interests at heart and will fight fearlessly to defend and promote her winery. And, with the help of a man whom she initially didn’t value, she will succeed!

This experience helped Emmy to find her innerstrength; she gained courage, confidence… and love. A beautiful story, indeed; I enjoyed this book!
