À propos de cet audio

Trillium, written by ML Holton, narrated by Jens Hansen.

Insightful, compelling, engrossing, and enlightening, Trillium intimately portrays the intertwining evolution of three very distinct families in the wine-making region known as Niagara in the Golden Horseshoe region, Ontario, Canada.

It all starts when a sandy-haired foot soldier, 19-year-old Tom Hartford, crosses over the mighty Niagara River in the 1750s.

Listeners will meet Maaka, an ingenious indigenous trapper; Franco, a dirt-poor Sicilian labourer; Paddy O'Sullivan, a sweet-talking Irishman and sweet Cate, the Hamilton Harbour prostitute. And that's just the beginning!

All unfolds with a pair of motherless red-headed twin brothers, a diabolical, hate-filled drunkard, two devoted, raven-haired sisters, an obsessed land developer, hard-working Mexicans, a kind blind man, a handsome Italian Canadian winemaker, a blessed treasure trove of attentive mothers, one demented vineyard-wandering wife, and a startlingly beautiful simpleton savant Anna.

A 250-year-old story about three families. Expect the good, the bad, and sometimes the very ugly!

I throughly enjoyed this novel by Margaret Lindsay Holton. Narration by Jens Hansen is perfect!
Trillium, is a wonderful story of three family’s interwoven legacies, from early beginnings to successful entrepreneurs, business partners and dirty scoundrels.
A touching story about family, strong work ethics and love for a land. The struggles to keep the family heritage together in a circle of secrets and deceit.
Also an excellent look at the development of Southern Ontario’s history and its wineries.

I didn't want it to end!
