smileen avatar reviewed on + 267 more book reviews


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.
