Over at the Vineyard in Alsace
It’s springtime at The Vineyard in Alsace, a
new season and a new beginning
After being abandoned by her partner when she
falls pregnant, Lottie Schell goes home to live on The Vineyard in Alsace,
where she has started a new relationship with the estate’s winemaker, Thierry.
Now about to give birth, Lottie’s determined to raise her child and to provide
for them both on her own without having to depend on anyone else.
Thierry Bernard is still dealing with his
grief and guilt following the death of his wife two years earlier, for which he
blames himself. When he meets Lottie, the instant attraction he feels towards
her gives him hope that he can move on from the tragedy of his past, as long as
he can tell Lottie the truth of what happened.
When circumstances force Lottie and Thierry
closer together, they both find it hard to compromise – she’s proudly
independent and he’s fiercely protective – and they’re both wary about trusting
someone new with their heart.
Can Lottie and Thierry take a chance on each
other, move on from their pasts and start over?
Escape to The Vineyard in Alsace once again
with this romantic read set in the heart of Alsace’s wine country.
THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
Starting Over at the Vineyard in Alsace is a lovely novel I read by Julie Stout. This is book two in the Domaine des Montagnes series and enjoyed this very much. It worked for me as a stand alone novel.
This is a lovely story about second chances where the story is set in an absolutely gorgeous setting during the springtime in a French country wine region.
The characters were a delight to read about - their issues and all, which made for a very realistic story. I love that the story was very well written and a very nice escape read full of wonderful secondary characters that I am hoping to read about in the next installments of the book.
Overall, I enjoyed Lottie and Thierry's journey of love and lost, of acceptance and moving on. People cope in different ways and in their own time. It was nice to see the process of healing for each person who have suffered through some loss and grief.
The writing style was beautiful and easy to read. The author really understands human emotions and the mental health that takes a toll on our emotions and human interaction. A simple yet deep story that I loved reading about.
