While I was giving birth to Lucy, my husband, Alessandro, was lying in bed with my sister Isabel.And thus, Ines 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, Ines 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, Ines must create a new life from a bitter pith, pressing sweetness from life's agonies as she struggles toward artistic freedom and feminine awakening.
