The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi

A sprawling 19th century drama with a flair for the romantic, The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi is a lavish tale of tragedy, salvation, passion, and the endless puzzles of courtship. Pedro Daun haunts his winemaking estate like a shadow of his former self, within sight of his heartbreak, yet the soul of a warrior still burns within him. Anne may be the sister of his bitter rival, but the fire of their unexpected connection is undeniable, despite the dire consequences of their pairing. Capturing the tone, detail, and societal pomp of a Victorian classic, this titillating read is a love letter to Portugal, fate, and the freedom that only true love can provide.
