REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:
Ines has just moved to Champagne, France and is newly married to Michel, owner of the well-known Maison Chauveau, when Germans begin to invade France in early World War II. Meanwhile Celine is the wife of the vineyard’s manager and half-Jewish – must also be very careful with the German occupation. Meantime in modern day New York, Liv Kent has lost everything – husband, home and career when you grandmother insists they go to France.
In this dual WWII and modern storyline, there’s heartbreak, selfishness that leads to loss and so many strong characters. Kristin Harmel weaves the best and worst of human nature together – with heartbreak and perseverance to tell a story that affects many generations. A great read for any fiction lover.
