Swamped by debts and uncertainty, he gambles the last of his last money in a daring move that offers him the opportunity to resuscitate his fortune. But when the unsettling Soledad Montalvo, wife of a London wine merchant, comes into his life, her passionate intensity lures him toward an unanticipated future. <p/><i>La Templanza</i> spans diverse worlds, from the young Mexican republic to magnificent colonial Havana; from the West Indies to the Jerez of the second half of the nineteenth-century, when its wine trade with England turned the Andalusian city into a legendary cosmopolitan enclave. A novel replete with glories and defeats, with silver mines, family intrigues, vineyards, and splendid places whose grandeur has faded in time, <i>La Templanza</i> is a story of resilience in the face of adversity, of a lifeline forever altered by the force of passion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"María<b> </b>Dueñas is a true storyteller.
