Review title: Visit a 19th Century vinyard with an angel as tour guide!
Product review: What a ridiculous story! It'll never work. As a cynical sceptic I started this book defying it to grab me, but once I met Xas the angel I was hooked and could not put down what became a totally believable experience. Sobran the vintner with all his doubts and passion and all too human failings is a wonderfully depicted character, as are all the others in this rivetting novel. Xas, the angel with wings that smelled of fresh snow, is a magnificent creation, wise, kind, caring and just a bit of a rebel. A deliciously convoluted plot, filling and satisfying, with many inviting philosophical pathways to traverse at your leisure, and a most unexpected but rewarding ending. Beautiful prose. Another great New Zealand novel.
