Old Vines - Paperback

by Michael Hartwig (Author)

Patrick, cleaning out his parents' house after their deaths, discovers an old photo of his grandfather arm in arm with another man, their shirtless torsos gleaming in the Italian sun on the edge of the family vineyard. The photo stirs curiosity and restlessness as Patrick, nursing wounds from a failed relationship, travels to the Amalfi Coast to connect with his family and uncover the truth about his grandfather. Patrick's ancestral quest bares family secrets and arouses passion as he falls under the spell of the handsome men who tend the vines, serve tourists, and fish the waters off the stunning coastline. The steamy tale spans generations and asks tough questions about sexual identity, love, and traditions in one of the most picturesque parts of Italy.
