La templanza

Nothing made Mauro Larrea suppose that the fortune he raised after years of determination and courage would collapse with a resounding setback. Drowned by debt and uncertainty, he bets his last resources on a reckless move that opens up the opportunity for him to resurface. Until the disturbing Soledad Montalvo, wife of a London wine dealer, enters her life wrapped in chiaroscuro to drag her into a future she never suspected. From the young Mexican republic to the splendid colonial Havana; from the Antilles to Jerez in the second half of the 19th century, when the trade of its wines with England turned the Andalusian city into a cosmopolitan and legendary enclave. La Temperance, a novel that speaks of glories and defeats, silver mines, family intrigues, vineyards, wineries and superb cities whose splendor faded in time passes through all these scenarios. A story of courage in the face of adversity and of a destiny forever altered by the force of passion.
