The Vintner's Luck - Paperback

by Elizabeth Knox (Author)

The Vintner's Luck is Elizabeth Knox's stunning novel of angels, wine, and love without boundaries set in nineteenth-century Burgundy--and the basis for the 2009 internationally acclaimed film from director Niki Caro.

One summer night in 1808, Sobran Jodeau sets out to drown his love sorrows in his family's vineyard when he stumbles on an angel. Once he gets over his shock, Sobran decides that Xas, the male angel, is his guardian sent to counsel him on everything from marriage to wine production. But Xas turns out to be a far more mysterious character.

Compelling and erotic, The Vintner's Luck explores a decidedly unorthodox love story as Sobran eventually comes to love and be loved by both Xas and the young Countess de Valday, his friend and employer at the neighboring chateau.
