Adelante

From Kirkus Reviews: "Benjamin's rich debut novel ... moves at an unhurried pace, allowing characters to slowly reveal themselves and their pasts ... feels authentic, not overly gritty or idealized. Expert details about the culture and process of winemaking are seamlessly woven into the narrative, and lush descriptions ... may have readers reaching for a glass ... A smooth, mellow read with notes of inspiration and drama, and a satisfying finish." - Kirkus Reviews A novel set in the vineyards of rural South America, Adelante follows an unfulfilled young man as he leaves his life in New York City and sets out to find something more. With the backdrop of a working winery and images of wine country, Adelante is predominantly a love story, it's about how we deal with change and uncertainty, and what really defines meaning in life. Adelante is a book unlike any other. It isn't memoir, it isn't non-fiction, it's a novel for our times, about how we live today and how we can reach for a more fulfilled tomorrow. It's about finding meaning in unexpected places.
