Valley Fever: A Novel

Ingrid Palamede never returns to the places sheÆs lived. For her, ôwhole neighborhoods, whole cities, can be ruined by the reasons you left.ö But when a breakup leaves her heartbroken and homeless, sheÆs forced to return to her childhood home of Fresno, California. Back in the real wine country, where grapes are grown for mass producers, Ingrid must confront her aging parents and their financial woes, soured friendships, and the blissfully bad decisions she made in her past. But along the way, she unearths her love for the land, her talent for harvesting grapes, and a deep fondness for and forgiveness of the very first place she ever left. ôAn elegant, restrained stylistö (The New York Times Book Review), Katherine Taylor turns her keen eye to high-class, small-town life among the grapesùon the vine, or soaked in vodkaùin this blisteringly funny, ferociously intelligent, and deeply moving novel of self-discovery.
