The horrors of the Nazi invasion of France. The resistance fighters and those that don't take a stance against the Nazi's or just don't believe it's happening. The frailties of the human spirit. Add to the story a few twists and turns at the end. All go into making a wonderful historical fiction. ( ) I found this book to be fascinating, including the notes by the author, in all things relating to the making of champagne. Although I have not liked drinking it in the past, I will try again at the first opportunity with more appreciation. The resistance part of the book was not as dramatic as some other books I have read, but still was good. This is my third book by this author and I plan to read more. First Historical Fiction book. First Kristin Harmel book. Won't be the last of either. Intertwining a fictional, yet possible, story of love, regret & perseverance with historical elements of geography, wine production & holocaust. It was a beautifully written story.

As the danger mounts, Michel turns his back on his marriage to begin hiding munitions for the Résistance. Inès fears they'll be exposed, but for Céline, the French-Jewish wife of Chauveau's chef de cave, the risk is even greaterâ??rumors abound of Jews being shipped east to an unspeakable fate. When Céline recklessly follows her heart in one desperate bid for happiness, and Inès makes a dangerous mistake with a Nazi collaborator, they risk the lives of those they loveâ??and the vineyard that ties them together. New York, 2019: Recently divorced, Liv Kent is at rock bottom when her feisty, eccentric French grandmother shows up unannounced, insisting on a trip to France. But the older woman has an ulterior motiveâ??and a tragic, decades-old story to share. When past and present finally collide, Liv finds herself on a road to salvation that leads right to the caves Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
