Warms Your Heart

The time is the mid 19th century and Petronilla, the daughter of an English politician and a Spanish heiress travels with her mother to discover that part of her heritage. Almost immediately, she becomes enchanted by that sun burnt country and the wine bodega she will inherit as part of her dowry. The story and the landscape both warm your heart. The writer gives us an excellent view of life in the Spanish countryside of that day and the tight reign an unmarried girl was held under in that society. Two very different men vie for her attention and she is torn between the excitement and passion of her extremely handsome cousin or the safety and protection of a man who will love her faithfully `til the end of her days. Petronilla finds that the Spanish side of her personality is constantly in conflict with her English level-headedness. There is a lot of narrative which tends to "tell and not show" but the over-all story is very interesting and I'm sorry to think that it is now out-of-print.
