Book Overview

The author of the "engrossing" (People) international bestseller The Room on Rue Am lie 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: In s 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 R sistance. In s fears they'll be exposed, but for C line, the French-Jewish wife of Chauveau's chef de cave, the risk is even greater--rumors abound of Jews being shipped east to an unspeakable fate.

When C line recklessly follows her heart in one desperate bid for happiness, and In s makes a dangerous mistake with a Nazi collaborator, they risk the lives of those they love--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 motive--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 of the Maison Chauveau.

Historical fiction set in france world war ll

Published by Love to read , 3 years ago

What a Fabulous love, story, full of suspense, Love and Loss. It is set in the wine country of france , in the Champagne Region. It is told between the years of the beginning of the war and the very current 2019. It reads like an Epic love story movie, Like " Gone with the wind" between two married couples , where the husband and wife , belonging to the other husband/ other wife have an affair....that leads to a baby...to decisions made, that changes the course of all their lives forever. It is heart wrenching how in making these decision's, nothing turns out good for the two married couples involved.The secrets, the deception, the lies, the war and the Germans bearing down on them.. all lead to a very heartbreaking epic fallout...That is so terribly tragic.! There is SO much to this book, and the story on a whole... you couldn't possible begin to describe it all. I stayed up last night reading to 3:15 in the morning..and tonight to 1:30, and finally finished it .You would NOT be sorry reading this gut wrenching story..I can see it being made into a movie! If I could I would absolutely ,without a doubt , Give this more than 5 stars! Fantastic Author, and gifted writing and story telling.This is my second read by her, and to tell the truth I would read Anything She's ever written !!! Loved, Loved, Loved It !!!

Amazing love story
