The Winemaker's Wife

 Fiction by Kristin Harmel


In 1940 Ines and Celine are young wives in the Champagne region of France, where their husbands work together growing grapes and bottling the famous sparkling wine. But the area has just recovered from the devastation of the Great War, and now the Germans are advancing in the direction of France once again...

In 2019 Liv is blindsided by her husband's sudden demand for a divorce, and she is left nearly penniless. Then her French grandmother comes to whisk her away to Paris. Can Liv start over in France? And what will she learn about the history of her family while she's there?

This story is told in both times. It is similar to another story I read by this author (see below) and is better and more believable than that one. Still, I'd say it was good but not great.


I also read by this author: The Sweetness of Forgetting
