“We three laughed together and spoke of wine and politics and sex and love and Europe and America and the world turned upside down.”

Field Blends is a story of the world as it is today, contemplating the intersection of modernity, technology, culture, and the people, pasts, and communities that give each of us roots. In socially and civically trying times, Field Blends follows an odd group of twenty and thirty-somethings from around the world as they meander through Europe, dropping in and out of one another’s journeys, before returning to New York only to be faced with heartbreak that none of them expected.

Against the backdrop of an ever-changing world, Field Blends seeks reconciliation of life amongst the monuments, hideaways, and progressive thought of great American and European cities with the memories of hometowns, mother countries, and family. It is both joyful of the world’s beauties and melancholy of its present failures.

Product description

Review

"Field Blends is a moving novel about friends living in our current world, bound by love and sometimes pain. Andrew Welch shows us in his first novel passion and dedication, and takes us on a journey both amazing and relatable through the adventures and relationships of all of these loving, imperfect characters, bringing the reader a sense of comfort and community, tinged with grief." -Charles Lamanna, Corporate Vice President, Low Code Platform, Microsoft

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling tapestry of travel, wine, and friendship

A tour around the world with food, wine, and a great bunch of interesting people.

Andrew Welch creates a rich tapestry through the use of gorgeous geography, wines that you can almost taste, and travel that makes you long for journeys once again.

As a debut novel this is compelling and highly enjoyable. Roll on the next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Field Blends -- a Metaphor
Reviewed in the United States on 9 September 2020
Verified Purchase
In Field Blends, the journey seems to be the point; except that, about two-thirds of the way through, the author pulls the rug out from under your feet, sweeping away the self-doubt, moral ambiguities, and pretentiousness of its characters with an unexpected dose of reality.

The author claims this novel is not a memoir, but his background closely matches that of the protagonist. I am most curious to know what other aspects of the novel may be true. (Other than the locations and the wines!)

In any case, Field Blends – faithful to its metaphor – presents a pleasant, meandering journey through interesting locations with tantalizing discussions about wine and well-developed characters whose introspections are reminiscent of a previous generation that brought us hippies and counterculture, only to give way to family needs, consumerism, career advancement, greed, and a simple battle to survive – in other words: reality.
