A powerful memoir about a patriarch and a Croatian family establishing a vineyard in the Auckland region

Description

What do you do when your father can’t say the word love, when words like 'I cherish you' ring like a threat and happiness hinges on who has the upper hand?

And how does a daughter reconcile with such a father on his deathbed? This could be any family—but when the patriarch is a Dalmatian New Zealander the result can only be explosive.

The Way to Spell Love by Nina Nola explores the complexities of familial relationships, cultural tensions, and the struggle for emotional honesty in a compelling narrative.
