When thirty nine-year-old Dion (short for Dionysia) leaves a meaningless government job and non-existent love life in Canada to help her American father and grandmother avoid losing the family winery in Crete to a dangerous Russian oligarch, she cannot imagine becoming a criminal. Soon though manipulations by the Russian offer no way out. Struggling to find footing on solid ground, Dion turns to her feisty ninety-four-year-old ex-resistance fighter grandmother. This and unexpected relationships with a young vagabond artist called Theo and the runaway wife of a Saudi businessman challenge her sexuality and her morality until finally, propelled into lawlessness, she and her grandmother decide to pull off a heist of the Russian's two million-dollar bottle of cognac. This is a novel about the nuclear power of love in sex, in climate-conscious winemaking, and in the trust Dion needs to save both her family's winery and herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Elixir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781966293309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Booklife Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jane Bow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52452323590325,"sku":"9781966293309","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_59ab9895-4d5e-459b-94f2-b8e877f61383.jpg?v=1776826742","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-angels-share-9781966293309","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
