The Vintner's Luck: A Novel

Amazon.com

"A week after midsummer, when the festival fires were cold, and decent people were in bed an hour after sunset, not lying dry-mouthed in dark rooms at midday, a young man named Sobran Jodeau stole two of the freshly bottled wines to baptize the first real sorrow of his life."

The year is 1808, the place Burgundy, France. Among the lush vines of his family's vineyard, Jodeau, 18 years old and frustrated in love, is about to come face to face with a celestial being. But this is no sentimental "Touched by an Angel" seraph; as imagined by Elizabeth Knox in her wildly evocative and original novel, Xas is equipped with a glorious pair of wings ("pure sinew and bone under a cushion of feathers") and an appetite for earthly pleasures--wine, books, gardening, conversation, and, eventually, carnal love.

The fateful meeting between man and angel occurs on June 27. After an evening during which Sobran spills all his troubles and Xas gently advises him, the angel promises to return on the same night next year to toast Sobran's marriage. Thus begins a friendship that will last for 55 years, spanning marriages, wars, births, deaths, and even the vast distances between heaven, earth, and hell. In addition to the wonderfully flawed Sobran and his mysterious angel, Knox brilliantly limns secondary characters who are deeply sympathetic--from Sobran's unstable wife, Celeste, and his troubled brother, Leon, to his dear friend and confidante, the Baroness Aurora. Love, murder, madness, and a singular theology that would make a believer out of the most hardened atheist all add up, in The Vintner's Luck, to a novel that will break your heart yet leave you wishing for more. --Alix Wilber

Book Description

A novel of angels, wine, and love without boundaries set in nineteenth-century Burgundy.

One summer night in 1808, Sobran Jodeau sets out to drown his love sorrows in his family's vineyard. Drunk, he stumbles on an angel: "Someone had set a statue down on the ridge. Sobran blinked and swayed. For a second he saw what he knew--gilt, paint and varnish, the sculpted labial eye of a church statue. Then he swooned while still walking forward, and the angel stood quickly to catch him."

Once he gets over his shock, Sobran decides that Xas, the male angel, is his guardian sent to counsel him on everything from marriage to wine production. But Xas turns out to be a far more mysterious character. A favorite of both God and Satan, he is, unlike other angels, allowed to go freely about the world, collecting earthly roses for his garden. Sobran and Xas agree to meet on this night every year of Sobran's life, and eventually man and angel fall in passionate love, complicating both their lives.

Compelling and erotic, The Vintner's Luck explores a decidedly unorthodox love story as Sobran eventually comes to love and be loved by both Xas and the young Countess de Valday, his friend and employer at the neighboring château.

angles aren't always as they seem.......2007-05-29

Wonderful story of a man's life long friendship with an angel. Author was very creative with how a relationship with an angel might be. I was thourghly entertained with this read.

Vitner's Luck.......2007-04-05

An interesting book to read for a book club. Most of my book club disliked the book.

Many parts of the book competed for most disturbing - the hanging of Josie the dog, the mastectomy with no sedatives, sex with a woman about to give birth, etc. Those who read only a portion wondered whether the author was trying to be offensive in her choice of words and the explicitness of description. Could the sexual been inspired by French novels, where discussion of sex ismore acceptable?

There were many questions: why did Xas cut out the tattoos
linking God/Satan signatures? Was it to stop being a test subject for them?
Or self-punishment for sex with Sobran? Or to become more human? What was
meant by having more written material stored in Hell than in Heaven? Was
Satan right in saying God didn't want to learn more about humans? How did
having his wings cut off help Xas recover? Was being an angel that
physically draining? When Celeste mentioned her own angel near the end of
the book, was it real? sarcasm? fantasy? Or did having her own angel
explain the perception of Celeste as mad, a fate that Sobran ultimately
suffered as well? In the final section, was Sobran physically with Xas when
touring the vineyard in contemporary times, or just in his mind? We hear
Satan saying that there is no free will, but never hear God's side. Does
this mean that humans who end up in Hell had no control over their own
fate, but are predestined by God? And what was the vintner's luck? Was it
really Xas, either directly or indirectly, making Sobran's vineyards and
personal life better? Since Xas seemed to simply reflect Sobran's own
opinions, was Sobran capable of making a good life without an angel?

Lots of loose ends that could have been tied up weren't. The author could have been provided moredepth on religious and philosophical questions; it seemed limited, despite the potential. But the author provided much too depth in description, with lots of repetition and more detail than some readers wanted. While the short chapters made for easy stop/start reading, readers also had problems with storylines that seemed disconnected - Leon, the murders, etc. And what was the relationship between the French wine terms in the chapter headings and most of the chapters' content. Was it a bit pretentious, like the book?

For our bookclub the major question, framed in different ways, was what was
the point of this book?

It pulls you in...........2007-02-04

I read this while in New Zealand, and it is one of my favorite contemporary works of fiction. The fact that I am a Christian and I wasn't offended by the relationship between the angel Xas and Sobran shows how skillfully and tactfully Knox writes. This book is fool of aesthetic beauty-- the way knox descripes the angels, the land, the people, etc.-- but it is the subtleties that slowly pull you in and the give the story that real complexity and profound meaning that all great novels have. The ideas presented of heaven, hell, sensation and experience are thought-provoking and tied in to the story in a way that doesn't seem preachy or overly-critical of Christianity.

That being said, this book is not for everyone. If you are especially squeamish, or are looking for a novel with the themes that reiterate traditional Judeo-Christian values, I'd stay away.

Loved it!.......2006-05-06

I was not sure when a friend recommended this book to me that I would like it.

I fell in love with it!

No, it is not a happy go lucky angel swoops down to save the day type of story, it is actually quite tragic. The immages, emotions and love that is portrayed is beautiful. It is one of the few books that I kept after I read it (usually give my books away).

completely different - without comparison.......2005-09-09

I just re-read this book after first reading it about 6 years ago. At the time it was responsible for getting me away from 'airport literature' and into 'real' reading. Its not for the faint hearted - devout chistians may feel offended at times although I found the whole heaven/hell theory thought provoking and I respect the authors right to her opinion - imagined or otherwise. The characters were rich and palatable. So was the wine ! Some scenes are quite brutal but the emotions are very real and can be tough at times. I have never found another book remotely similar to this and am gob-smacked that someone can sit down and write something so profound.

Book Description

Queen Mab's niece, Fiona, has long been bored to tears by the intrigues of Court life. She'd prefer to cut loose at a punk club, knock back a few Thai beers, and hook up with a likely lad of similar interests. But when Fiona goes AWOL, she only gets as far as Manhattan's Inwood Park before a nasty demon nearly puts a permanent crimp in her plans—and a dark stranger sparks her desire...

All work and no play make Tobias Walker one cranky werewolf. After six months of doing his part to keep the peace during the delicate negotiations between the Others and humankind, he'd like nothing more than a good night's sleep—preceded by an enthusiastic mating session. The alluring woman he rescues in the park might be the answer to his most lustful prayers, but only if they can both stay alive long enough to find out who wants her dead and why.

Now, Fiona and Tobias must unravel a tangled web of treachery that spans branches of the Fae, Other, and mortal worlds, all the while falling into a dangerous attraction that could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—or the end for them both...

loved it.......2007-09-29

this book was great! It was funny, the dialogue was witty and the love scenes were hot, lol. Strongly recommend to all!

What happened?.......2007-09-04

I loved the first book in the series and Ms. Warren is an great writer, I just a hard time with this one. I struggled to finish it.

Another great story........2007-06-27

When Princess Fiona from the Seelie Court meets Werewolf Tobias Walker the sparks fly.This book has it all intrigue,romance.
Oh of course heat.
Great story!

Better than 'Wolf at the door'.......2007-06-24

I didn't like her first book of The Others, but I had bought the three books together, and maybe it was because I had already paid for them, or maybe because the plots were more interesting, but the other two books held better expectatives for me than the first one. So it proved out to be, and I liked this one far better than 'Wolf at the door', that was an easy plot and bad book... that I rated as a one star because less wasn't posible.

This one is better, the characters are better developed, and the story has more of a grip to it. The bad guy is easily identifiable, once he apprears on the story, and feels more like a fidgement put in there to be the bad guy and not a very developed character; but anyway the story is good and well-written, and the main characters are well developed.

I got a little bored of more of the same when I was halfaway of the book, but I don't know if it was because of the plot or if it was because I wanted to jump to another book I just got.

Anyway, it's an easy and fun story, a light book.

Light, Fun, and Very Entertaining!.......2007-02-17

An interesting premise...Fiona, daughter of Queen Mab (Seelie Court) and King Dionnu (Useelie court) decides she's had enough court intrigue and politics and heads off to New York for a bit of a vacation...despite the fact that travel to human land are banned by her aunt, The Queen. She successfully slips out of her world and into the human realm and is almost immediately attacked by a demon and then saved by Tobias, a werewolf. This story is an interesting mix of the everyday "real" world, a separate magical world...and those places where the two mix. The basic gist of the story is that Fiona comes for a vacation...a little dancing, some good food, a little hankie panky and winds up stuck here, hunted by demons at what could be described as the worst time for this to happen...at a time when humans and otherkin of all kinds are negotiating otherkin rights. At a time when these negotiations are at a delicate place and where Tobias and his pack are working around the clock to ensure there are no "incidents" to ruin the negotiations.

What you get in She's No Faerie Princess is just romping good fun with a minor mystery thrown in. Probably the best part of the book is the chemistry between Tobias and Fiona. They have a very Han Solo/Princess Lea kind of sexual tension/animosity between them (sorry, but that's what came to mind as I was reading through the book) that manages to be both humorous and annoying. I guess that's what happens when you throw a sexually liberated and extremely stubborn Faerie into a romantic paring with an [..] retentive, driven to protect werewolf. That's not all it's got...in this story you get Demons, Fiends, Witches, Werewolves (and a Werejaguar), heck you even get Demon Police...the number of twists in this novel, while somewhat predictable, are totally fun and She's no Faerie Princess has sex that actually manages to be "hot" and well placed...instead of the plot being used to bridge sex scenes, we got more plot with sex as a key component to making it all work out right.

Overall, I give it four stars. She's No Faerie Princess is a light, easy read that is very entertaining. The female lead is feisty and while she must be rescued more than once...she's not a helpless damsel waiting helplessly to be rescued by the big, strong werewolf...I like that she was independent, strong-willed (read stubborn), and really just looking to have a good time. The only drawback I found was that at times, the overbearing "mine" mentality the author gave Tobias got a bit tired...we get it already; you don't have to beat us over the head with it. Other than that, a really entertaining, light read for those times when you just need a bit of fluff to entertain you.

Book Description

A Royal Pain...

The illegitimate daughter of a prince and a notorious courtesan, Lucia has been confined to schools and convents for most of her life. But that hasn't stopped her from causing one scandal after another. Exasperated, her royal father decides that his exquisite hellion of a daughter must be married immediately. And Sir Ian Moore, Britain's most proper diplomat, is the perfect man to choose her a groom.

Diplomacy, not matchmaker, is Ian's forte, but he vows to get Lucia married off as soon as possible so that he may return to his real duties. Yet, despite an abundance of very eager, worthwhile candidates, none is a match for Lucia's spirit and fire. And the more time Ian spends with the infuriating beauty, the more reluctant he is to marry her off. Could it be that he has already found Lucia the perfect husband...and it is Ian himself?

Customer Reviews:

A Good Romance.......2007-06-23

I read this book several months after "His Every Kiss", a novel I was disappointed in. However I was immediately intrigued when I recognized several outlying characters-really enjoyed the Duke of Tremore and his story. I enjoyed this book, because it did have a different take than most. I liked stuffy Ian, loved to read of him loosing control. Lucia was interesting, and albeit gorgeous, had flaws. Please don't give me a perfect character such as Grace from "Kiss" and expect me to care what happens to her.This book was a keeper for me.

Slightly annoying heroine and weak story ending.......2007-06-15

This is my first book by Ms. Guhrke, but I always like trying out new romance novelists. This plot line consists of a wild, head-strong illegitimate daughter of an Italian prince needing a husband as her father is tired of her misbehavior. A British Diplomat must find a British Peer for her to wed. She doesn't like any of her choices, and yes, this diplomat, Ian, turns out to be just the man for her.

I couldn't get too involved with this novel for several reasons. First, Lucia, the illegitimate daughter, is irritating (as has been mentioned in prior reviews). She is whiney and not terribly likable. I never got why Ian was attracted to her, other than the fact that she is beautiful. Second, the built up to the story climax is very subtle and somewhat tedious. The climax is also very mild, making for a rather flat story. For me, there was too much fluff at the beginning about finding a husband, and not enough focus on developing their relationship. Then when they get together, I was left feeling somewhat cheated. My last complaint was rather minor. This story is theoretically set in the early 19th century, but there was very little focus on developing the story within the historical and cultural context.

So, I've outlined the parts that bugged me, but it is a fair story, and a quick read. It would not make my all-time favorite romance novel list, but I don't regret having read it or bought it.

Thoroughly enjoyable.......2007-05-21

I read tons of novels (guilty as charged), so I'm quite jaded by overused plots and such, but I found this novel quite refreshing with an emotional Italian heroine, handsome strong hero, and quite a bit of humor throughout. I loved the contrast of wild passionate unrestrained heroine vs. stuffy uptight Englishman who try to outwit each other and watching the sparks fly. The characters were very well developed and Laura Guhrke is an excellent writer. I'm sold on her from now on! (I've since picked up the rest of the series). But I think this one is my favorite. Although the heroine is quite spoiled and arguably overly indulged/pampered, her driving the uptight diplomat crazy is quite hilarious. And her willingness to sacrifice all in the end, is the stuff of romance. I think that is what ultimately I enjoyed most about the novel, how romantic it is (read: romantic not cheesy). A lot writers today have overdone plots with the requisite love scenes, but not enough romance. This novel really feels like you've spent an afternoon eating bon bons, treated yourself to brand new perfume, lying on a featherbed. I found it sumptuous and utterly delightful. Enjoy.

because Guhrke can't write a bad book.......2007-02-17

I gave this book 3 stars because of the writing. She's No Princess had the kind of heroine I dislike most--the spoiled little girl who wants her way and won't take no for an answer. I waited a long time to read this book, picked it up at a used book store, and will return it to said store. It was okay--only because Laura G. can't write a bad book. But, the attitude of the heroine kept this from being a keeper.

THE ROYAL PAIN AND THE PROPER DIPLOMAT !!!!!!!!!.......2006-11-13

She is trouble with a capital "T" and he is just too diplomatic for words.
I just loved this book. It kept me reading for hours and I didn't want to put it down. An Italian beauty and a handsome Englishman make this one terrific read. He THINKS he has the upper hand in this relationship, but this story is a battle of wills. The book is funny and the characters are just made for each other. You will truly enjoy this book.

confusing but great fun.......2007-01-24

I checked out Nostradamus Ate my Hamster from the library based just on its bizarre title and was not at all disappointed. This very unusual story was hilarious, at times disturbing, and occasionally offensive, but almost entirely enjoyable. A warning to the reader: be prepared to abandon all rationality and to suspend disbelief, because this is a book that breaks all the rules. If you enjoy the work of Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Monty Python's Flying Circus, this sci-fi comedy/fantasy is highly recommended.

Book Description

As relevant today as it was when it was originally written sixteen hundred years ago, Augustine's Confessiones continues to influence contemporary religion, language, and thought. Reading with fresh, keen eyes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Garry Wills has brought his superb gifts of analysis and insight to bear on this classic of Western tradition in a series of ambitious and critically acclaimed translations and interpretations. In Saint Augustine's Conversion, Augustine's story draws to its dramatic conclusion in what Wills calls the “hinge” chapter of the bishop's confessional opus. With an illuminating introduction and extensive notes throughout, Wills provides a richly rewarding and inventive interpretation of Augustine's seminal work for a new generation of readers.

Customer Reviews:

This little book packs a punch.......2007-05-31

Wonderfully concise, but still mangaged to have the fell of a broad, more in-depth biography. Highlights Augustine's intellectual development in the context of his chronological movements. Some amusing debunking of Augustine's supposed mental infatuation with sex. Wills does an excellent job of painting an Augusine who's quite gracious and liberal (e.g., with the Donatists and those struggling with sexual sin) and also quite rigid and inflexible (with any kind of dishonesty or deception, especially done in service to God). The author also explain well Augustine's love-centered ethical thought. It was nice to be reminded that the Bishop of Hippo was one of history's most impressive intellectual giants. It's delightful that such a mind was subdued to and used of the Lord in such influential ways.

Book Description

In his preceding work, Soundings in Augustine's Imagination, Father O'Connell outlined the three basic images Augustine employs to frame his view of the human condition. In the present study, he applies the same techniques of image-analysis to the three major "conversions" recounted in the Confessions. Those conversions were occasioned, first, by Augustine's youthful reading of Cicero's Hortensius, then by his reading of what he calls the "books of the Platonists," and finally, most decisively, by his fateful reading in that Milanese garden of the explosive capitulum, or "chapterlet," from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Dissection of Augustine's imagery discloses a chain of striking connections between these conversions. Each of them, for instance, features a return to a woman - now a bridal, now a maternal figure, and finally, a mysterious stand-in for Divine Wisdom, both bridal and maternal. Unsurprisingly, conversion-imagery also provokes a fresh estimate of the sexual component in Augustine's religious biography; but the sexual aspect is balanced by Augustine's insistent stress on the "vanity" of his worldly ambitions. Perhaps most arresting of all is Father O'Connell's analysis showing that the text that Augustine read from Romans consisted of not only two, but four verses: hence the dramatic procession of images which make up the structure of the Confessions, Book VII; hence, too, the presence, subtle but real, of those same image-complexes in the Dialogues Augustine composed soon after his conversion in A.D. 386.
