The Vintner's Luck

THE VINTNER'S LUCK
Burgundy, 1808. One night Sobran Jodeau, a young vintner, meets an angel in his vineyard: a gorgeous creature with huge wings that smell of snow, a sense of humour and an inquiring mind. They meet every year on the midsummer anniversary of the date. Meanwhile, the village life goes on with its affaires and mysteries, marriages and murders, and the vintages keep improving - through the horror of the Napoleonic wars, and into the middle of the century, as science marches on, vitivulture changes, and gliders fly like angels.
