The world of wine merges with espionage in the first volume of a generational saga. Four families linked by Catholicism, curiosity and commitment become a network of commercial and political intrigue operating on the periphery of power in the era following the Great War. This historical novel places ordinary people in the trajectories of great organizations whose purposes they barely perceive or understand. Everyday life has no secrets and yet it is laden with secrecy. Volume One follows Eduardo Lanhoso, a precocious naval officer candidate whose sense of duty leads him everywhere but where he thinks he should be going.
