Late Summer in the Vineyard by Jo Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Emmy works in a call centre and is struggling through life after the death of her mother. She lives with her dad who never fully recovered from his grief, and her sister Jody left to marry a wealthy businessman and distance herself from her working class family.
When the bailiffs come knocking on the door, Emmy knows that she has to up her game to try and save the family home which has gathered arrears on the mortgage. She talks herself onto a training programme in France for a wine merchant, which the opportunity of becoming team leader bringing with it a bonus which could solve her finance problems.
I loved this book and was transported to France on the best holiday of my life without ever leaving my house. The images that Jo describes are amazing, and I could see the vineyard, and the chateau on the hill, the Gita and the river. I could feel the sun on my back, smell the cheese and my mouth watered at the wonderful dishes that Gloria cooked.
If you are having a staycation this summer, treat yourself to this book and you will whisked off to the wonderful wine region, where you will crush the grapes with your feet, and learn about the magic of wine production.
I can't wait to read more of Jo's books.
