The French Winemaker’s Daughter by Loretta Ellsworth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a beautiful story to come out of such an ugly time. This story is told in different points of view by two strong women, over two time periods - WWII France and Paris in the 1990’s. Martine’s father had her hide in an armoire with a bottle of wine when the Germans came for them at their vineyard. She manages to survive and run away to her aunt in Paris, only to be found by a nun, who takes her to an Abbey where she rides out the rest of the war. 1990 Charlotte is an airline pilot who spends much of her time in Paris. When she is given a bottle of wine, she discovers a secret, which sends her on a quest to find its owners, who disappeared during WWII. These are two strong women, who live drastically different lives. They have heartache, secrets and determination. This story is one of love and strength, the power of doing what is right and fate. I found myself laughing and crying... and all the emotions in between. My one complaint is that I wish we had a little more history. Overall a beautiful book. Thank you Netgalley for my advanced reader copy. LTKGiftGuide LTKFindsUnder50 LTKHome
