But if she’s learning anything from her widowed mother’s dementia, it’s that dying alone is even worse. So when she meets Luke, the handsome heir to a local vineyard, dating him makes sense. And when he asks her to marry him, well. It’s what her mother always wanted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But none of Ophelia’s obsessive scrolling on wedding forums can prepare her for the nightmare of planning her own. Why is her mother-in-law so worried about every single detail, right down to the color scheme? Why does it feel like Ophelia is losing track of days, weeks, even months? Why is Luke’s family so eager to host the wedding in the vineyard’s ancient chapel—and why does it feel, sometimes, like the chapel has a heartbeat?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This wedding is supposed to be the thing that saves Ophelia from a lifetime of loneliness. So how is it that the more Ophelia sacrifices, the more alone she is?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance, \u003ci\u003eUntil Death\u003c\/i\u003e is a deliciously dark send-up of the wedding industrial complex—and a mother-daughter story unlike any you’ve read before. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Recognizes the Gothic horror inherent to planning a wedding and creates from it a painfully incisive and genuinely haunting fever dream.” —Kay Chronister, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Bog Wife\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Completely unique, deeply unnerving, and deviously funny.” —Samantha Allen, author of \u003ci\u003ePatricia Wants to Cuddle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e“\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrabbed me like a creeping vine and wouldn't let go.\" —Kerry Cullen, author of \u003ci\u003eHouse of Beth\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Glistens with humor and horror. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn electrifying and affecting debut.” —Samantha Hunt, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Seas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":66637847298352,"sku":"BDt1ds","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/t1ds-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779437588","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-t1ds","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
