It’s great to see Lush by Rochelle Dowden-Lord on It’s great to see Lush by Rochelle Dowden-Lord on the Debut Fiction Award Shortlist for the Nero Book Awards 2025 👏🏻 | See link in bio for our review | @rochelledowdenlord @serpentstail | #Bookstoker A tale of secrets, temptation and eyebrow-raising excess, the premise of Lush is deliciously intriguing: the elderly and charismatic owner of a French vineyard extends a wine-tasting invitation to four well-known figures from the industry. At the end of their stay, his guests will be rewarded with a sup from the last remaining bottle of one of the rarest and most valuable wines in the world. A hedonistic unravelling follows in a suitably potent commentary on ambition, prejudice and our cultural relationship with alcohol. #bookclubreads #bookrecs #debutnovel #lush #nerobookawards #readthisbook #rochelledowdenlord #serpentstail #whattoreadnext
