This month’s Book of the Month chosen by Andrea Peskind-Katz from Great Thoughts, Great Readers:

Blush by Jamie Brenner

 Blush by Jamie Brenner

Blush, by Jamie Brenner, is a fun book to read at the beach, by the pool, or with a glass or two of wine. It’s an easy read, though a long one at 384 pages. Brenner beautifully details the characteristics of each of the three generations of strong women and the men in their lives. The Hollander family wine business is the backdrop of the story with lush descriptions of the vineyard and wine-making painted throughout. 

We find out early on that the family winery is in financial jeopardy, information withheld from the women until the patriarch of the family decides he has no choice but to sell. Devastated, the women desperately want to keep the business in the family, and believe they can do so. Unfortunately, the men do not take their efforts seriously. When long-hidden secrets surface, plans to sell the winery become unraveled.

The female characters bond over a book club focused on so-called “trashy” books from the 1980’s. These often underestimated novels by feminist authors such as Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins helped women find their voices and gave them strength to fight for what was important to them. The concept of using a book group in the story is a creative and unique way to unite the grandmother, mother, and daughter

Blush is an entertaining fiction novel chock full of drama, difficult relationships, long-hidden secrets, and some steamy romance. Heavier topics such as gender inequality and family dysfunction are also addressed. Those who want a “lighter read” with substance will greatly enjoy Blush by Jamie Brenner.

“Delicious, delightful, and smart.”

— Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost
