The author of the "engrossing" (People) international bestseller The Room on Rue Amélie returns with a moving story set amid the champagne vineyards of France during the darkest days of World War II, perfect for fans of Heather Morris's The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
Champagne, 1940: Inès has just married Michel, the owner of storied champagne house Maison Chauveau, when the Germans invade. 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 greaterrumors 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 loveand 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 motiveand 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 of the Maison Chauveau.

Die Geschichte spielt in der Gegenwart und in den 40er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, zur Zeit der Deutschen Besatzung in der Champagne. Das Springen zwischen beiden Geschichten, gefällt mir gut. Am spannendsten fand ich die geschichtliche Rahmenhandlung -2. Weltkrieg, Resistance, Einfluss auf die Champagnerproduktion. Die Story ist typische Frauenunterhaltung, spannend erzählt, etwas vorhersehbar und mit Happy End. Gute Strandlektüre.
