Eight Hundred Grapes: A Novel

audioboek en e-book


FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME?

Heralded as ā€œimpossible to put downā€ (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 hideā€¦ What if your beloved fiancĆ©, 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, itā€™s the eve of the last harvestā€”the best time of the growing season, and Georgia knows sheā€™ll find solaceā€”and distractionā€”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 fiancĆ© isnā€™t the only one whoā€™s been keeping secretsā€¦

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. ā€œThis 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; itā€™s a tasty treat for wine lovers and teetotalers alikeā€ (Publishers Weekly). You wonā€™t be able to put this ā€œaddictiveā€ (Us Weekly) novel down.
