A Belletrist Book Club Pick.
"A sumptuous treat." -Bolu Babalola, author of Honey and Spice
Sweetbitter meets The Bear in this "intoxicating look at the world of wine."(TIME)
A TIME, Town & Country, NPR, Marie Claire, and Ms. Magazine Best of the Summer.
Four wine experts arrive at a French vineyard estate for an unforgettable experience-but not the kind they expected. Avery gave up her hard-won but exploitative sommelier job to come. Wine prodigy Cosmo is trying to disguise that his life is in freefall. Millionaire Sonny owns a tacky wine brand, while caustic magazine writer Maëlys hovers with her pen poised. All await the penultimate night of trip, when they will taste a bottle rendered divine by age and scarcity.
Unfolding over several days of indulgence in delicious food and drink, raucous debauchery, and transformative truths that will leave each character changed forever,
Lush is a sensuous tour of the wine industry's extreme pleasures and pains, a captivating summer read that, like a fine vintage, will linger long after you've finished turning the pages.
