Synopsis
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE #1 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 ).

    One of my favorite stories is of How Peter Hurkos became psychic. I ordered the book from VK Rares and Classics. His packaging of the book was superior to most book sellers. He bubble-wrapped the book so that it was well protected and shipped it in a tight fitting mailing sleeve. The book arrived safely, and i am happy with it and VK Rares and Classics's service. I was also jappy with his pricing. The book was as described.

  • Love for a homestead and family vineyard wins over career and prosperity.

    Laura Dave excellant author., great character development.Topics of the life we live today for those who may be offended such as living together before marriage. Adultery..Too bad great story but it all plays out and errors of relationships corrected, so to speak.I enjoyed the book.Nice father daughter relationship.I guess as I stated " the times we live in" . Fortunately there were no crude descriptions .A story that stays with you as you hope good decisions are made and family love endures .
