Australia: MIRA Australia, 2007. This is an enchanting sequel to the recently published Wine Hunter by Campbell Mattinson, and in a fictionalised account, traces the relationship between pioneering Hunter Valley vigneron Maurice O’Shea and his lady love Marcia Fuller in over 40 letters and photographs preserved by their daughter Simone Bryce. This is a delightful book which softens and puts flesh on the raw bones of Campbell Mattinson's story, and details more of Maurice's early years studying oenology (winemaking) in France, and of the intricacies of his twin lives - one carving out his vineyards in the Hunter Valley, the other courting Marcia in Sydney - and later of their marriage. 422crisp pp & 700g packed for post. Paperback. Very Good/Very Good. 23cm.

Description:
Mira 2011. 2011. Softcover. Trade Paperback. 422pp. Very good. Includes recipes by Max Lake. Son of an Irish father and a French mother, Maurice George O'Shea was a famous Australian winemaker. Educated in France, he was also a man of passion, a romantic. In the cultured and elegant Miss Marcia Fuller, an accomplished pianist, he found his enduring sweetheart. Theirs would be a many-faceted and often stormy romance, confronted by religious differences and tested by life's vicissitudes. But their greatest challenge lay in Maurice's other consuming passion – making fine wines. He could not tear himself away from his beloved Hunter Valley vineyard. Marcia, every inch a city girl, was appalled by the primitive living conditions of the struggling vigneron. .
