### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good but not great book
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019*

When you are used to reading books by great writers, not necessarily famous ones, but those who know how to develop character, increase tension, invoke passion, you realize that this book lacks depth on many levels. The plots move quickly and there are plenty of twists and turns but you will never feel totally invested in the characters. It is a book with a story but without soul.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Totally awesome

The Winemaker’s Wife is by Kristin Harmel.  This novel is set during World War II in the Champagne region of France near the city of Reims.  Most of it is set on the vineyard of Chauveau.  This book deals with the personal relationships of friends and lovers as well as husbands and wives.  It deals with how people were able to protect themselves and their property during the occupation by the Nazis.  The Resistance is definitely working in this area and there were lots of collaborators and traitors.  How each person chose which side to be on and whether to be active or not is looked at in detail.  The story is told in two different eras, during the war from 1940-5 and the present 2016.In May, 1940, Inez Chauveau raced towards the vineyards from Reims.  She had news to relay to her husband.  She felt he didn’t pay much attention to anything she did or said and that everything she did or said was wrong.  This time, she was totally right and the news wasn’t good.  When she found Michel, he was in the caverns with the wine.  When she told him that war had started in France, his reaction was not what she expected.  His first words were, “I guess we need to finish hiding the champagne.”  Once more, his first thought was for the wine.  However, Inez immediately began helping move the best of the wines to a secret room in the caverns.  The winemaker was going to make sure the Nazis didn’t get the best wines his vineyard could produce.  Luckily, his great-grandfather had created several secret rooms in the caverns where they kept the wines.  There were miles of caverns beneath his property.  You could easily get lost there.  Inez and Michel lived here with his winemaker, Theo Laurent, and his wife, Celine.  Inez got along with them; but they were never destined to be best friends.  Theo thought she was just flighty and immature.  All of them made her feel like they were judging her every day and she always fell short of their expectations.  She came to resent them and went to Reims where she began a relationship with  Antoine.  At least he pretended to listen to her and believe in her.  However, he would become her downfall.Liv Kent had just broken up with her husband.  She was devastated when her grandmother, Edith Thierry came to take her to Paris.  Her grandmother had a reason other than to get her back on track.  She planned to tell her the truth about her heritage; but Edith was having a hard time doing that.  Edith took Liv on tours and walks; but never told her the secret.  Liv was introduced to Edith’s attorney who knew the story but was unable to tell her Edith’s story.  Would she ever tell her the true story behind the Chauveau vinyards?The book is very good and keeps you reading.  You just can’t stop.

    Not her best work
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019*

I've read several of Kristin Harmel's books, and loved them all so much. I was anxiously awaiting the release of this newest book. Sadly, I'm very disappointed. If I didn't know this was a new release, I would have sworn I've read it before. Same ole story line. I didn't care for any of the characters. It was a struggle just to finish it. After having paid full price for it, I was determined to read it through. No matter how much it pained me.I sure hope the author comes up with better stories next time. As I do like her writing style.And up until this book, really enjoyed all her other books. Oh well, they can't all be great I guess.
