Champagne, 1940: At the dawn of the Second World War, Ines is the young wife of Michel, owner of the Maison Chauveau, a champagne house near Reims, France. It should be an idyllic life, but Inès-who's often treated like a child by her husband, his head winemaker, Theo, and Theo's wife, Céline—is increasingly unhappy. And then the Germans arrive. Céline feels as lost as Inès does, but they don't have much else in common. And when rash decisions destroy the fragile connection between them, their lives and the lives of those they love are imperiled, along with the champagne house they've worked so hard to save. New York, 2019: Recently divorced Liv Kent is at rock bottom when her French grandmother shows up unannounced, insisting they leave on a flight to Paris. But the older woman has an ulterior motive... and a decades-old story to share. When past and present intertwine at last, Liv may finally find a way forward, along a difficult road that leads straight to the caves of the Maison Chauveau.
