Details: Product Description 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 greater—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 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. Review “Love and betrayal, forgiveness and redemption combine in a heady tale of the ever present past…fantastic!” — Pam Jenoff, NYT bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris“Engrossing… a suspenseful tale of betrayals personal and political, and of courage and sacrifice.” ― Tampa Bay Times on The Winemaker’s Wife“With exceptional skill, Kristin Harmel constructs The Winemaker’s Wife between the past and the present, giving equal weight and importance to both, all the while weaving a tale full of secrets and betrayals that puts to the test mankind’s strength, fragility and vileness. Once you start reading this moving novel, you will not be able to put it down until you reach the last page.”  — Armando Lucas Correa, bestselling author of THE GERMAN GIRL”Written in heart-wrenching prose, THE WINEMAKER’S WIFE is a complex story of love, betrayal and impossible courage set in the champagne growing region of France during World War II.
