The Vineyard at Painted Moon was the April selection
for the Page-turners Book Club at the Kewaunee Public Library.
Mackenzie has the job that she loves working at her
husband’s family vineyard. She blends
delicious wines that attract a lot of customers. Her world comes crashing down when her
husband wants a divorce. What should she
do? Stay and keep working for the
vineyard or strike out on her own?
I usually love Mallery’s novels, but while I read
through this one quickly, I didn’t love it.
I enjoyed Mackenzie’s journey and her gumption to strike out on her
own. I liked the story of the various family
members. I overall though just felt sad
for the destruction of the marriage. The
novel started out happy with Mackenzie’s mother-in-law Barbara’s engagement,
and then Barbara turned into a one-dimensional villain. It was too drastic of a change to me. Mackenzie’s new romance was not very well
developed and felt tacked on at the end.
I did enjoy all of the details of wine making and thought that was fascinating.
Overall, The Vineyard at Painted Moon was a so-so
novel for me.
