FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE LAST THING HE
TOLD ME
Heralded as "impossible to put down" (Elle), and named a Best Book
of the Summer by Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Elle,
Marie Claire, and Us Weekly, Eight Hundred Grapes is a
heartbreaking, funny, and deeply evocative novel about love, marriage,
family, wine, and the treacherous terrain in which they all intersect.
There are secrets you share, and secrets you hide... What if your
beloved fiancé, he of the crinkly smile and irresistible British accent,
had kept a life-changing secret from you? And what if, just a week
before your dream wedding, you discovered it?
Georgia Ford, bride-to-be, hops in her car and drives through the night,
from Los Angeles to Sonoma, to her safe haven: her family, and the
acclaimed family winery. Georgia craves the company of those who know
her best, and whom she truly knows. Better yet, it's the eve of the
last harvest--the best time of the growing season, and Georgia knows
she'll find solace--and distraction--in the familiar rituals. But when
Georgia arrives home, nothing is at all familiar. Her parents, her
brothers, the family business, are all unrecognizable. It seems her
fiancé isn't the only one who's been keeping secrets...
Eight Hundred Grapes is a story about the messy realities of family,
the strength (and weaknesses) of romantic love, and the importance of
finding a place to call home. "This winning tale will both satisfy on a
literary level and encourage oenophiles to pour themselves a glass of a
recent vintage to enjoy while reading; it's a tasty treat for wine
lovers and teetotalers alike" (Publishers Weekly). You won't be able
to put this "addictive" (Us Weekly) novel down.
