About this Event

Join Bold Fork Books for our May/June Book Club! This will be our final book club before we pick back up in September.

ABOUT BOLD FORK BOOK CLUB
Our food writing section has it all - fiction, memoir, food studies, history, and more. Led by a member of our team, Bold Fork Book Club is a monthly in-shop event where we pick a book to read ahead and discuss together in a group — with snacks!

If you want to learn more about food and meet other members of the Bold Fork community, this is the group for you. NOTE: THE AUTHOR WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE.

If you buy a ticket including a book, we will email you when your book is ready for pickup or shipping.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A gorgeous, seductive fiction debut from wine and dating columnist Eliza Dumais, about parsing romantic clarity amidst the mind-muddling effects of fermented grapes, the French language, and exhausting physical labor. Perfect for fans of Under the Tuscan Sun, French Kiss, and The Pairing.
Alice is bored—romantically, professionally, creatively. So when her boss, a prominent wine importer, suggests she work a grape harvest in France, she sees it as a welcome opportunity to course-correct her apathy. Though Alice is plenty skeptical of the drink-pray-love premise, she begins to let her guard down when she finds herself picking riesling and practicing her French alongside a charming cast of international characters—and, most notably, Henri, the vineyard owner’s nephew, who’s just as lost as she is.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Eliza Dumais is a writer and editor based in Brooklyn, New York, with a focus on wine, food, travel, and sex (hedonism, essentially). You can find her work in Vogue, Food & Wine, Cosmopolitan, and VICE. Grape Juice is her debut novella.
