Title : The July Harvest - Françoise Bourdin - Book Summary : A dynastic intrigue in the Bordeaux vineyards. The thwarted reunion of members of the great Laverzac family over a prestigious and contested inheritance. At Fonteyne, their magnificent family estate, the Laverzacs gather twice a year around Aurélien, the patriarch who reigns supreme. But that summer, beneath the apparent euphoria of the reunion, storms are brewing that are far more devastating than those that hit the vines... The future of Fonteyne is at stake, and Aurélien, who has devoted his life to it, wants against all odds to preserve the integrity of his estate by ensuring its succession. Only Juillet, the youngest of the four sons, adopted thirty years earlier, seems able to live up to his expectations. A born seducer, excellent manager, and lover of the land, Juillet possesses all the qualities to single-handedly run the imposing estate. But why would the "bastard" inherit this colossal fortune? Rumors are rife in the Bordeaux vineyards. And Alexandre, the only son to remain in Cognac, cannot tolerate this affront. Inexorably, passions will be unleashed, fueled by rivalries between brothers, the jealousies of women, the demands of the land and the subtle hierarchy of this provincial society where only the harvest and the next vintage count. Amidst the storms and dramas, it will be up to July alone to confront the ghosts of the past and shed light on his own story as a foundling. By bringing the two titles together, The July Harvest And July in winter, Françoise Bourdin explores, thanks to a rich intrigue set in the heart of the vineyards of the South-West, the family rifts which threaten the future of the estate.
