If you love The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Beekeeper's Promise, then you'll adore this beautiful story of love, hope, and survival.

East of Paris in the sun-drenched vineyards of northern France lies the glamorous champagne house Maison Chauveau. But as the Nazis march closer and the Resistance builds strength, it becomes clear the grand house is not all it seems.

1940: When young Ines married into the famed Chauveau family, she dreamt of peace and luxury. But with German occupation comes a life of fear: for herself, for family and friends joining the Resistance, and for Celine, the Jewish wife of their chief vintner. As tensions mount and loyalties are tested, Ines will be faced with a terrible choice.

2019: Liv Kent has lost everything: her job, her husband, and the family she thought they were building. Alone and adrift, she leaps at the chance to join her eccentric grandmother on a trip to Champagne. But it's not long before past and present collide, and in a desperate search for the truth, Liv is led straight to the Maison Chauveau.
