About the book
The Room on Rue Amélie's talented author is back with a captivating tale set in the champagne vineyards of France during World War II. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, this moving story follows the lives of Inès and Céline as they navigate the dangers of the German invasion.
In 1940 Champagne, Inès marries Michel, owner of Maison Chauveau, just before the Germans arrive. Michel joins the Résistance, putting their marriage at risk. Meanwhile, Céline, the French-Jewish wife of Chauveau's chef de cave, faces even greater danger as rumors of Jews being sent east spread.
As Céline follows her heart and Inès makes a dangerous mistake with a Nazi collaborator, their actions jeopardize not only their loved ones but also the vineyard that binds them together.
Fast forward to 2019 New York, where Liv Kent, recently divorced and feeling lost, embarks on a journey to France with her spirited grandmother. Unbeknownst to Liv, her grandmother holds a tragic story from decades past, which ultimately connects Liv to the secrets hidden in the caves of Maison Chauveau.
