This is a beautifully written story set in the second world war. It is amazing that Kristin Harmel is able to blend historical drama with modern-day stories; you are able to relate to the women in the story of real, relatable women and the characters will probably stay with me for a long time. Although a novel, her research helped me learn quite a bit about the Champagne region in France and the conflict of the war. The book weave joy, life, love, loss, deception. There is determination, perseverance, resistance efforts for the war. I even learned do details of winemaking. Although I don't often drink Champagne, when I do, I will look at the bubbles differently. It is a long book and took some time for me to read it aloud for my husband, as I usually read in the car while he is driving. Since high school, I have been interested in books, factual and fiction about the world wars and this one does not disappoint.
