Review

“It beams readers with pinpoint accuracy to the heart and soul of 1860s Mexico, Cuba, and Spain on a magic carpet ride that they will be sorry to have end.” (Leila Meacham, New York Times bestselling author of Roses)

“Dueńas is a gifted writer. The Vineyard is destined to become a classic.” (Armando Lucas Correa, international bestselling author of The German Girl)

“Breezy and entertaining, Marķa Dueńas delivers a good old-fashioned yarn.” (The Washington Post)

"This sprawling tale will charm fans of historical romance." (Kirkus)

"Dueńas capably reveals the grace of second chances, as Larrea’s hard work overcomes a cruel twist of fate. There is despair; there is betrayal; there is romance and triumph. Dueńas’s many fans as well as readers who appreciate well-researched historical fiction will find The Vineyard appealing." (Booklist)

"This sprawling family saga is filled with romance, intrigue, adventure, and a bit of melodrama. It’s a leisurely yet always entertaining read that will appeal to lovers of Isabel Allende’s Zorro." (Library Journal)

“Here’s an all-encompassing saga of one man’s sacrifice, tragedy, courage, and passion. Dueńas builds her tale carefully and sets the stage with lush descriptions of Mexico, Cuba, and the glorious vineyards of Andalusia, Spain. It is the pictures that Dueńas paints that draw readers into the heart of her character’s journey through three stages. Heartwrenching yet uplifting, this beautifully rendered story will linger in readers’ minds.” (RT Book Reviews)
