LOVED this book. Olivia's marriage is over. Her 99 YO grandmother sweeps in and wisks her away to France to get away. Old long buried secrets emerge and Olivia's entire world shifts as her grandmother's past is slowly revealed. Some romance, history of occupied France in WWII and a lesson in how the past affects the present and future!
A story of love, lies, betrayal, espionage, confusion, redemption and true love.The story takes place in a huge winery in France during the war.Two couples, the owner and his wife,and the manager and his wife caught up in a love triangle that gets more involved as they are involving themselves with hiding Jewish refugees,and arms to fight the Nazis. A grandmother, seventy years later trying to explain things to her granddaughter that she never had the nerve to explain to her son. I must say, each time it tried to explain things, I had to read the passages over several times before I "got it". She tells a good story,and it was a very emotional read.
