Año 1889, La Rioja. Hay quien dice que una maldición se ciñe sobre los viñedos, secos desde hace años, de la finca Las Urracas. Mientras las grandes bodegas de la región comienzan su edad dorada, Gloria -la joven hija del propietario- languidece en la vieja mansión familiar, viendo aproximarse otro otoño sin cosecha. Sometida a la autoridad de una tía cruel y un padre ausente, Gloria verá cambiar su vida de un día para otro cuando tenga que ponerse al frente del negocio familiar. Será entonces cuando comience una larga batalla que la enfrentará a los bodegueros y caciques locales, que no conciben tener como rival a una mujer. Y menos a una que pone en duda sus viejos privilegios# Con la ayuda de sus hermanas, Gloria luchará por recuperar el esplendor de sus viñedos, al tiempo que se adentra en los secretos que esconden las habitaciones cerradas y los campos muertos de Las Urracas. Bajo la sombra de una maldición que solo al final sabremos si es cierta, las mujeres de esta novela lucharán, sin miedo a nada ni a nadie, por el poder que les pertenece. There is something that men want more than money: power. Some have it, others dream of it before sleeping, and others fight it. You are a threat to power, Gloria, because you disobey, and on top of that, you’re a woman. Power will always seek to crush you; never let your guard down. La Rioja, 1889. Some say that a curse lies over the vineyards of Las Urracas, which have been dry for years. While the big wineries in the region begin their golden age, Gloria—the owner’s young daughter—languishes in the old family mansion, watching another autumn come and go without a crop. Under the authority of a cruel aunt and an absent father, Gloria sees her life change from one day to the next when she has to take charge of the family business. This is the beginning of a long battle that pits her against the winery owners and local bigwigs, who can’t imagine having a woman as a rival, much less one who casts doubts on their old privileges. With the help of her sisters, Gloria fights to recover the splendor of her vineyards while delving into the secrets hidden in the closed bedrooms and dead fields of Las Urracas. Under the shadow of a curse that may or may not be true, the women in this novel fight, fearless of anything and anyone, for the power that is rightfully theirs.
