Eight
Hundred Grapes
By Laura Dave
Just
days before her wedding Georgia Ford discovers that her handsome, British
fiancé, Ben has been keeping something from her … something big. Reeling from the shock, Georgia heads home
to her family’s vineyard in the Sonoma Valley, hoping for solace and peace, but
things are never as simple as they seem.
Georgia returns home to discover that her personal drama may be the
least of her worries. As she tries to
cope with a rapid fire series of revelations from her parents, her brothers,
and her fiancé, Georgia learns that life is all about choices: what you choose
and what you choose to leave behind.
Author
Laura Dave’s story is told in a witty, breezy style with well-drawn characters
facing a myriad of life’s little complications.
My only problem with the story is that instead of being told in a
straight linear fashion, there are multiple flashbacks told from differing
points of view, which became somewhat bewildering. But the story resolutions are
strong and upbeat without becoming clichéd. Eight
Hundred Grapes is a story about love, resilience and the strength of
families.
