Publisher's Synopsis
1790: Jean-Yves Salignac wins Sainte Madeleine, a beautiful vineyard in Burgundy, but loses Jero, the love of his life. Heartbroken, he carves the symbol of a butterfly - modelled after a necklace he gave Jero - all over Sainte Madeleine, so that she'll never be forgotten. 1923: young Elise Salignac loves hearing the stories of her ancestors and Jero's butterflies, whose magic is known only to the true children of Sainte Madeleine. Elise's great love is the chateau where she's grown up, but as she grows into womanhood, her heart is also captured by her distant cousin, Laurent. Yet the shadow of war comes sweeping over Europe. When revolutionary Laurent leaves France to fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War, Elise's heartbreak takes her on a different path.
