Resumen del Editor

What if your beloved fiancé, he of the crinkly smile and the irresistible British accent, had kept a life-changing secret from you? And what if, just a week before your dream wedding, you discovered it?

When these questions become realities for bride-to-be Georgia Ford, she does the only thing that seems to make sense. She runs. She hops in her car and drives through the night, from Los Angeles to Sonoma, to her safe haven, to her messy and loving family and their acclaimed family winery. Georgia craves the company of those who know her best and whom she truly knows. And on the eve of the harvest, Georgia knows she'll find solace - and distraction - in 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. And, much to Georgia's dismay, it seems likely that this harvest may be the family's last.

Best-selling author Laura Dave has been dubbed "a wry observer of modern love" (USA Today), a "decadent storyteller" (Marie Claire), and "compulsively readable" (Woman's Day). Set in the lush backdrop of Sonoma's wine country, 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Joy Osmanski's feisty delivery is just right for Georgia, the 30-year-old lawyer who discovers that her too-good-to-be-true fiancé is too good to be true.... Whether recounting flashbacks or dealing with present-day crises, Osmanski's performance is winning." ( AudioFile)

Interesting

story is well told, pacing is great, interaction of characters is well developed. Plot, however, is predictable as is ending.

Decent

Not my usual genre. Predictable & unrealistic as a Hallmark movie, but with the same charm I didn’t really want to like, but I did.

So great!

Narrator is wonderful, I was really engrossed with the story. I listened on a road trip and so many times I shouted out in disbelief or laughed out loud. Awesome listen.

Perfection...

I LOVED this book, right from the very beginning to the very end. It captivated me and I couldn't put it down!

So enjoyable

Great story and easy to picture the characters.
Love the narrator.
Very enjoyable. Highly recommend

What a GREAT book!

I loved this book! I’ve laughed, cried, reflected on my own life, laughed and cried some more! As a girl who never really had a father it was a great appreciation of what that looks like for one who has an amazing one! I love the turns in the twists and how she works out her own path in her journey of life. Now I’m ready for a bottle of wine!

💜

good listen. a little obvious but a decent listen . I liked the narrator

An overall nice story.

I found myself very distracted by the reader. I’m not sure if it was the change in voices or overall tone. The story was nice, but I didn’t experience page-turning anticipation.

Couldn't finish

Wasn't able to finish it. Seemed predictable and was very boring, I couldn't get hooked to keep going

Easy listen

Was hesitant felt like a Hallmark movie at start but I keep listening. For me it was predictable but the ending was decent. Had a good flow to keep me going to end.
