When Fleur's mother Helene dies, it feels as though the soul of Goldberg dies with her. This small wine town nestled in the hills of southern Germany is losing its way. The vineyards are struggling, the young are leaving, and the old ways no longer seem to hold.
Then Jean-Claude returns. A gifted chef who has spent fifteen years wandering the world, he comes home expecting nothing more than a quiet break. Instead, he finds a town in need of direction and a woman he has known since childhood who is about to change his life.
Together with Fleur, his sister Eleonore, and a spirited group of locals, Jean-Claude throws himself into the Vine Awakening, a bold community project to bring Goldberg back to life. But as the town begins to bloom again, Fleur must face a question she has been avoiding: can she trust her heart to someone new after the man she loved betrayed her?
From the internationally bestselling author of The Glassblower comes a rich, sun-drenched novel about friendship, second chances, and the courage it takes to call a place, and a person, home.
