Title: The Vine Witch
Author: Luanne G. Smith
Narrator: Susannah Jones
Audio Length: 8hr 42min
Rating:4/5
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
A young witch emerges from a curse to find her world upended in this gripping
fantasy of betrayal, vengeance, and self-discovery set in turn-of-the-century France.
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of
their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the
Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière
Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse.
Thoughts:
This has so much potential to have more books. I`ve never been interested in wine
making but this novel had me wanting to book a wine tour in Napa and try it all.
The narrator is incredible, lending a different voice to each character we meet.
My only complaint,which isn't a bad thing- is the length. Nine hours was barely
enough time to devour this book. I will say there are a couple twists some are
easier for the reader to figure out than others.
I wouldn`t call this a fairytale but some reviews have. Yes there are witches,
curses and magic but this story has so much more. Family not by blood is strong
and there are some emotional attachments that form with certain characters.
I look forward to whatever Luanne is working on next. For now I will go on an
adventure and try some new wines and think about how maybe a vine witch
helped the grapes grow.
TTFN,
Ashley
