About this listen
1967: Concerts, hippies, and war protests define the counter-culture revolution that flourishes during the Summer of Love in San Francisco. No one is more into the messages of love and peace than Winnie Hartley, who has just graduated from UC Berkeley determined to make it as a poet. When she reconnects with her high school boyfriend Lincoln Salyer, it feels like her life is finally everything she wants it to be. Meanwhile, her sister Miranda throws herself into running the family business, Hartley Vineyard, determined to make California wine that rivals French. Little do the sisters know that the choices they make and the secrets they keep will set their lives down radically different paths.
2015: Dawn Hartley has a secret that she can’t share with her mother Miranda, who has long been her closest confidant. How can she possibly admit that she has a drinking problem to her famous vintner mother? It feels like a betrayal of her own heritage. When an assignment for work requires her to research the wildly popular Vineland novels by a famously anonymous writer, she embarks on a quest that will shake her to the core, and just might set her life on the right path at last.
Critic Reviews
“A gorgeous golden ode to California history, from the sun-drenched Napa wineries to the hippy-jammed concerts of San Francisco at the height of the sixties. … A delightful intergenerational tale.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club
“Beautfiul… An uplifting novel that celebrates the importance of storytelling in recovery.”—Laura McKowen, bestselling author of We Are the Luckiest
"An immersive page-turner that offers a complex braid of love, addiction, and the challenges of relationships between sisters and mothers, set against an authentic California and peopled with the real humans of that world. More than a tale of family, Summer of Love delves into the complex nature of secrets and addiction, the hope of recovery, and the power of storytelling to set us free. I genuinely loved this novel." —Barbara O’Neal, author of When We Believed in Mermaids and The Last Letter of Rachel Ellsworth
"This special novel about sisters & secrets, wine & words, and addiction & absolution captivates with its stories of three women, tied together by blood and love, and the challenges they face. This dual timeline narrative deftly transports the reader to the sunny California landscapes of yesterday and today and delivers a wallop of a story that keeps the pages turning late into the night."—Susie Orman Schnall, bestselling author of Anna Bright Is Hiding Something and We Came Here to Shine
