This book
was about two couples who were living on an estate where they produced
wine. It was interesting to learn about
the winemaking process as well as how the lives of the people who lived there
were affected by the Germans during World War II. It was well researched and historically correct
I believe. I enjoyed it very much. I recommend
this book to anyone who likes to read stories about people living during this
time. I am not going to give a description
of the book as it is shown below as found on GoodReads.
I received this

Description as found on Goodreads:
The author of the engrossing international bestseller The
Room on Rue Amélie returns with a moving story set amid the champagne
vineyards of northern France during the darkest days of World War II, perfect
for fans of Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.
Champagne, 1940: Inés 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. Inés fears they’ll be exposed, but for Céline, half-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 champagne house that ties them together.
New York, 2019: Liv Kent has just lost everything when her 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.
