Anno Domini 1874. Josep Alvarez se retorna após anos de fuga do Languedoc francês para sua Catalunha natal. Após receber a notícia da morte do pai, ele parte a pé pelos Pireneus e, ao final de sua árdua jornada, encontra em sua aldeia natal, Santa Eulália, uma casa em ruínas e uma vinha que foi cultivada por várias gerações de seus antepassados. Aqui começa a se desenrolar o simples, mas extremamente carregado de eventos, destino do protagonista, que, contra o pano de fundo dos turbulentos acontecimentos da Guerra Civil Espanhola, busca a simples felicidade humana e a realização de seus sonhos e desejos. Lembranças de um amor passado, a descoberta gradual de um novo sentimento, personagens peculiares do campo espanhol, um perseguidor demoníaco do passado e um segredo sombrio que o protagonista esconde - tudo isso confere ao relato do escritor Noah Gordon sabor e tensão. A vinha, como herança familiar, torna-se no romance um símbolo da busca pela realização de profundas aspirações humanas e da crença no sentido da vida.
