Summary:
"A Vinha do Anjo conta-nos a história envolvente de uma família e de uma tradição milenar, o retrato de uma protagonista fascinante no qual se reveem muitas das mulheres empreendedoras e corajosas que anonimamente constroem as nossas sociedades. Longas filas de videiras estendem-se pelas colinas suaves de Borgofranco. Há dois séculos que a família Brugliani é proprietária daquele antigo burgo e das vinhas, tratadas com paciência para delas extrair vinhos preciosos e únicos. Aos 35 anos, Angelica é a herdeira da tradição e do património familiar. Mãe, esposa, empresária de sucesso: tudo parece perfeito na sua vida. Só ela sabe que por detrás daquela fachada se esconde um mundo sombrio, feito de mentiras - as do marido - e de sonhos pueris. Numa noite, em que conduzia a sua moto e sentindo-se dominada pela amargura e pelas lágrimas, Angelica não se apercebe de que o carro à sua frente está a travar. O choque é violento, mas felizmente sem consequências graves, quer para ela, quer para o condutor do automóvel, Tancredi D'Azaro. Angelica não sabe ainda que aquele homem é um dos chefs mais aclamados em todo o mundo. E ambos ignoram que, depois daquele encontro fugaz, o destino voltará a entrelaçar os seus caminhos, suscitando a tentação de um novo começo. É então tempo de fazer escolhas, tendo em conta o peso do passado e as responsabilidades do presente - porque a vida é feita de sonhos e paixões."

cover.
"The Vineyard of Angelica tells the compelling story of a family and an ancient tradition, the portrait of... many of enterprising and courageous women who anonymously built our societies. Long rows of vines cover the gentle hills of Borgofranco. For two centuries, the Brugliani family has owned this old town and vineyards and has patiently extracted precious and unique wines from them. At 35, Angelica is the heir of tradition and family heritage. Mother, wife, successful businesswoman: everything looks perfect in your life. Only she knows that behind that facade a dark world made of lies hides - the husband - and puerile dreams. One night, going by bicycle and feeling dominated by sorrow and tears, Angelica does not realize that the car in front is braking. The shock is violent, but fortunately without serious consequences, both for her and for the driver's car, Tancredi D'Azaro. Angelica does not yet know that this man is one of the most acclaimed chefs in the world. And both ignore that, after that fleeting encounter, fate again intertwine with him, raising the temptation of a new beginning. It is then time to make choices, taking
into
account the weight of the past and the present responsibilities - because life is made of dreams and passions."
