Book excerpt: A reluctant daughter takes over a centuries-old winery in Cold War Germany A Polish physician crosses into the West during the harvest A love story that defies time, distance and political upheaval When her father has a stroke, Marielle Hartmann gives up her rising career as a banker to return home to run her family’s 300-year-old winery just as the harvest season begins. Because she’s been away from the land, Marielle lacks the knowledge, instincts and confidence necessary to achieve a successful vintage. Encouraged by her mother to seek help, she grudgingly turns to Tomas Marek, a member of the Polish crew that has worked her family’s vineyards for years. Violent weather, different world views and Marielle’s pride work against them, but a near-fatal accident with one of the crew forces Marielle to trust Tomas if she is to save the harvest. As their relationship deepens, will it survive both political barriers and family loyalties keeping them apart?
