Publisher's Summary
From the USA Today bestselling author of A Curve in the Road comes a sweeping and captivating tale of one woman’s journey to the lush vineyards of Tuscany - and into the mysteries of a tragic family secret.
If Fiona has learned anything in life, it’s how to keep a secret - even from the father who raised her. She is the only person who knows about her late mother’s affair in Tuscany thirty years earlier, and she intends to keep it that way...until a lawyer calls with shocking news: her biological father has died and left her an incredible inheritance - along with two half siblings.
Fiona travels to Italy, where the family is shocked to learn of her existence and desperate to contest her share of the will. While the mystery of her mother’s affair is slowly unraveled, Fiona must navigate through tricky family relationships and tense sibling rivalries. Fiona both fears and embraces her new destiny as she searches for the truth about the fateful summer her mother spent in Italy and the father she never knew.
Spilling over with the sumptuous flavors and romance of Tuscany, These Tangled Vines takes listeners on a breathtaking journey of love, secrets, sacrifice, courage - and most importantly, the true meaning of family.
Critic Reviews
“This heartwarming story of love and loss, longing and betrayal set amid the vines of Tuscany is the perfect escape in troubled times.” (Rhys Bowen, best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and Above the Bay of Angels)
“Rich descriptions and attention to detail will have you living and breathing the Tuscan air, and the tangled vines of truth and lies will have you questioning what is right and wrong. I recommend you curl up with a glass of Italian wine and savour every page.” (Donna Alward, New York Times best-selling author)
“Wouldn’t it be a dream to inherit a wine estate in Europe? That’s what happens - most unexpectedly - to the character at the center of Julianne MacLean’s latest. This introspective escapist story of tangled family secrets and the impact of our choices all set to the backdrop of a sprawling Tuscan winery will make you crave a glass of Chianti Classico and reflect on roads not traveled. Cin cin!” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times best-selling author of The Book of Lost Names and The Winemaker’s Wife)

Entering the world of love and wine making.
I love driving my car long distance, my discovering audible has been a Godsend, the adventures have brought much joy into my life. These tangled vines transported me to Tuscany a place I visited a few years ago. The story was real and wonderful at the same time, while having very sad and amazing twists and turns, I love julienne Macleans imagination. The story was beautiful sad and at times frustrating. And that’s life in a nutshell. I enjoyed the voices and characters the narrator took, each personality shone through. I’m so looking forward to the next book. Thank-you for all having the talent to keep me captivated in this sad but believable story.

Slow start.
This took a while to get into but once I got to know more about the characters I enjoyed it.
I thought the narrator mostly did a good job. The word “trauma” is not pronounced “trama” to rhyme with drama.

Tuscany
I quite enjoyed this book with a few twists and turns and a fatal love story to it. I thought the narrator did a good job too. From the other reviews I wasn’t expecting much but I’ve heard a lot worse

Didn’t enjoy
Couldn’t wait to finish this one, the narrator’s voice was so depressing to listen to.

Wonderful story, frustratingly told at times
I absolutely loved the story, and the fact it was based in Tuscany made for fantastic escapism. But the language became way too flowery in parts, and needed a much harsher edit. Also, the narrator often sounded like a computer-generated voice, which was quite jarring!
