Orange Wine

While I was giving birth to Lucy, my husband, Alessandro, was lying in bed with my sister Isabel.

And thus, Inés Camargo--the youngest daughter of an Italian nobleman and a Colombian poet--begins to speak in a bitter, sweet voice.

Against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Colombia, where the Catholic Church exercises total control over women, Orange Wine weaves an unforgettable story of sisterhood, love, passion, and betrayal. Isolated in a society that opposes her desires, Inés struggles with her identity as a mother, artist, sister, lover, and woman. Her choices are stark: accept her duty to her family or embark on a sensuous journey of self-discovery. Each path will cost her--or those she loves--something dear.

Mirroring the alchemical process of turning oranges into wine, Inés must create a new life from a bitter pith, pressing sweetness from life's agonies as she struggles toward artistic freedom and feminine awakening.
