Inès is married to the proprietor, Michel, while Celine and her husband, Theo, live in the neighboring cottage. In alternating chapters, the reader meets Inès and Celine, both of whom live and work at the vineyards of Chauveau. In the meantime, Liv is becoming enamored of Julien, her grandmother’s attorney, but a misunderstanding threatens to undermine their budding relationship. While in France, Edith is acting strangely, and it is clear she is keeping secrets from her granddaughter. Her 99-year-old feisty grandmother, Edith, shows up at her door and whisks her away to France without telling her why. In the present, Liv is still reeling from her divorce and her joblessness. Straddling two time periods, The Winemaker’s Wife chronicles the little-known story of the French resistance in the Champagne region of France during the Nazi occupation in the mid-1940s.
