THE SHORTEST WAY HOME
THE SHORTEST WAY HOME is the delightful, smart, escapist read that we all need in today’s vitriolic times!
Hannah has her life all mapped out: she’s just completed business school in Berkeley, and accepted a high powered job with Goldman Sachs in New York City. She will marry her pragmatic boyfriend, Ben, have babies who take Mandarin classes and violin lessons.
But, while vacationing in Sonoma, she walks into the tasting room at the Bellosguardo Winery and it makes her previously laid plans feel like the worst.
It’s the most wonderful room she’s ever entered, and she feels a calling in a way she’s never experienced before. She feels at home with the eccentric husband and wife owners—Everett and Linda—and their tall, floppy-haired son, William, whom she flirts with despite herself.
She loves the winery, but immediately sees the ways her business expertise could enhance its best aspects. On a whim, she finds herself postponing her future and taking a position there. By the end of the summer, Hannah will change Bellosguardo in ways she never dreamed of—and Bellosguardo will change her too.
