Description

From acclaimed author Jamie Brenner comes a stunning new novel about three generations of women who discover that the scandalous books of their past may just be the key to saving their family's future. For decades, the Hollander Estates winery has been the premier destination for lavish parties and romantic day trips on the North Fork of Long Island. But behind the lush vineyards and majestic estate house, the Hollander family fortunes have suffered and the threat of a sale brings old wounds to the surface. For matriarch Vivian, she fears that this summer season could be their last - and that selling their winery to strangers could expose a dark secret she's harbored for decades. Meanwhile, her daughter, Leah, who was turned away from the business years ago, finds her marriage at a crossroads and returns home for a sorely needed escape. And granddaughter Sadie, grappling with a crisis of her own, runs to the vineyard looking for inspiration. But when Sadie uncovers journals from Vivian's old book club dedicated to scandalous novels of decades past, she realizes that this might be the distraction they all need. Reviving the "trashy" book club, the Hollander women find that the stories hold the key to their fight not only for the vineyard, but for the life and love they've wanted all along. Blush is a bighearted story of love, family, and second chances, and an ode to the blockbuster novels that have shaped generations of women. Read more

  • A Delicate Pairing
"Terroir, loosely translated, means taste of a place." – Blush, by Jamie Brenner. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to make of the blurb for this book, which said, "Three generations of women discover the "trashy novels" of a bygone era might just hold the key to saving their family's coastal winery—and to finding the love that's eluded them." My first thought was this is a tall order fraught with pitfalls at every turn. Not knowing too much about the books in question, I wondered how the 80's romance genre could possibly inform today's feminist consciousness. In the hands of a less masterful writer, I think the premise would have failed miserably. In the capable hands of Jamie Brenner, it's a stroke of genius. Not only does she call out the sexism, violence, and male dominance in the works of Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins (among others), she mines the hidden gold within their novels. Three generations of Hollander women have chafed against the patriarchal rule of Leonard, husband, father, and grandfather, to Vivian, Leah, and Sadie, respectively. When a trove of 1980's novels is discovered, the three women draw strength from them, resonating with the courage, intellect, drive, and passion many of the female characters possess. In time, the Hollander women come to find these same attributes within themselves. It is nearly impossible to distinguish the primogeniture of a titled English family from the standard operating procedures at Hollander Estates Vineyard. The vineyard was once a trailblazer in North Fork and has achieved national recognition and an "estates" winery designation under the stewardship of Leonard and his maladroit son and heir-apparent, Asher. Leah, who has a genuine affinity for the place, is bypassed at every turn. Devastated, she goes into business for herself, becoming an expert seller of artisanal cheeses, which, of course, also have their terroirs. The vineyard is beset by the kind of unfortunate twists and turns that make for a great backstory. It is within this framework that Brenner shows true brilliance. She weaves a tale of opportunity, seduction, and vengeance worthy of the authors she extols and, without so much as a wink, adds a predatory French baron who just happens to own a vineyard in Bordeaux. Leonard's "old boy" approach to winemaking slowly corrodes the vineyard's many successes until all may be lost. By the time I reached this point in the story, I knew so much more about wine production and vineyard life that the very notion of the Hollanders losing their estate had me on the edge of my seat. Hats off to Ms. Brenner for the way she balanced past and present events with elegance, equity, and touching tenderness. The range of characters, the beautiful descriptions of the mansion, and the vineyard itself add to a timeless quality that leaps off the page to create an optimal reading experience. I read this book in one sitting. Reaching the final page, I could not help thinking how, against what I thought were heavy odds, Ms. Brenner had managed to change my perception of an entire genre. How did she do that? By pairing the past with the present and delivering a superb terroir. ... show more

  • Vintage Women
I love a book that has a surprising ending, or at least not the ending I saw coming. Three generations gather at the family estate for a time of wine, food and conversation but like all conversations before, it was one sided only. They were, a patriarchal family with all that entailed. This was 21st century, and the women of that family clearly recognized how marginalized their lives really were. It was within their own small book club that their voices found harmony, and vowed to speak their truths. Four women who truly loved their husbands more than material trappings, could stand no more second class citizenship, setting forth sweeping changes. Simultaneously, a catastrophe threatens the entire clan. Fear not, the women just might save the day! ... show more
