The Winemaker's Daughter by Timothy Egan
Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times national correspondent Timothy Egan turns to fiction with The Winemaker's Daughter, a lyrical and gripping novel about the harsh realities and ecological challenges of turning water into wine. When Brunella Cartolano visits her father on the family vineyard in the basin of the Cascade Mountains, she's shocked by the devastation caused by a four-year drought. Passionate about the Pacific Northwest ecology, Brunella, a cultural impact analyst, is embroiled in a battle to save the Seattle waterfront from redevelopment and to preserve a fisherman's livelihood. But when a tragedy among fire-jumpers results from a failure of the water supply-her brother Niccolo is among those lost--Brunella finds herself with another mission: to find out who is sabotaging the area's water supply. Joining forces with a Native American Forest Ranger, she discovers deep rifts rooted in the region's complicated history, and tries to save her father's vineyard from drying up for good . . . even as violence and corruption erupt around her.Timothy Egan works for The New York Times as a national enterprise correspondent. He was part of a team of reporters who won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for the paper's series on racial attitudes in modern America. He is the author of four books, the most recent of which, The Worst Hard Time: The Hidden Story of People Who Experienced the Great American Dust Bowl (2006), won the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2006. Amy Pastan, a former editor and researcher at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, is now an independent editor and scholar. W. has written the preface. The Library of Congress's director of publishing, Ralph Eubanks.
