Orange Wine

By: Esperanza Hope Snyder

Narrated by: Frankie Corzo

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.

I love hearing all about her struggles. I felt it ended abruptly. That surprised me.

Increíble journey of love

I caught myself several times verifying what I just read. I would have loved it more if the sisters had more development.
