Book Overview

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME AND THE NIGHT WE LOST HIM

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 fianc , 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 fianc 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.

Excellent story

I liked the story... but really disliked the main character, Georgia. She was crusty, selfish and closed. Shame!

it takes 800 grapes to make one bottle of wine.

it takes 800 grapes to make one bottle of wine. that’s where it starts, and then it gets crazy. this book is set on a winery run by the ford family. all the characters are likable. wine and the family vineyard are woven throughout the book, like characters of their own. this was my second laura dave book. although not as great as “the last thing he told me,” this book was still very good. 4.25 stars, maybe 4.5. a couple of...
