(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

All families have their problems. No more so than the Maxwells of Tawny Brooks Winery. Situated in the heart of the Margaret River wine region, this world-renowned winery was the childhood home to three sisters, Natasha, Eve and Phoebe.Today all three women are enmeshed in their city lives and eager to forget their past - and their fractured sibling relationships. Until Phoebe decides to get married at home . . .
Now the sisters must all return to face a host of family obligations, vintage in full swing and interfering in-laws who just can't take a hint. As one romance blossoms and others fall apart, it seems they are all in need of some sisterly advice.
But old wounds cut deep. Somehow, the Maxwell sisters must find a way back to one another - or risk losing each other forever.

I am no longer surprised by the quality of Loretta Hill's writing. And this book just adds to her growing list of brilliant Australian family stories.

Fundamentally a story about family, this book also touches on the heartbreak of relationships, the bond between sisters and life in a rural region of Australia. The added bonus, for me, was that romance only played a moderate part of this tale. It was written very well and the reader just connects with these characters very easily. The drama at play between various arms of the family plays out very well and I think we all can identify with someone in the Maxwell family - and that is what endears Hill's writing to me. That connection.

No problem at all recommending this book - or any of her others!
