From Booklist
Two brothers—Walter the older, is ruthless and driven; William, the younger, is more honorable but ineffectual—spend their lives building the Shellard family wine business without counting the cost in human terms to those they mistreat along the way. Among the most affected is young Catherine, Walter’s illegitimate daughter with his longtime Portuguese mistress, who suddenly loses all that she holds dear when her father marries again, and her distraught mother commits suicide. Seven years later, Catherine reenters the Shellard sphere of influence when Walter arranges her marriage to Robert Freeman for business reasons. This powerful novel set between the world wars on both sides of the English Channel encompasses both tragedy and triumph while exploring the perfidy of greed and lust juxtaposed against the determination to prevail and thrive. --Lynne Welch
