Introducing Esperanza’s newest Novel: Orange Wine

Overview

Orange Wine dives into the story of Inés de la Rota, the youngest daughter of an Italian nobleman and a Colombian poet, as she navigates her life in Colombia, a country where the Catholic Church exercises total control over women. Orange Wine weaves an unforgettable story of sisterhood, love, passion, and betrayal. Isolated in a society that opposes her desires, Inés struggles with her identity as a mother, artist, sister, lover, and woman. Her choices are stark: accept her duty to her family or embark on a sensuous journey of self-discovery. Each path will cost her--or those she loves--something dear. Mirroring the alchemical process of turning oranges into wine, Inés must create a new life from a bitter pith, pressing sweetness from life's agonies as she struggles toward artistic freedom and feminine awakening.
