If you love historical fiction and have yet to read a book by Kristin Harmel you are SO missing out. I loved this whole thing. I learned a ton about Reims and Champagne France. The best part of this story is the real fallibility of them. There is no one perfect hero. At times I found that hard to deal with because this mistakes made by these guys was partly due to miscommunication and the outcomes were devastating.
You know a book is fantastic when all you can think about is the storyline and you’re counting down to when your kids are in bed so you can find out what happens next. This is one of those gems

Although it took a little too long to get to the “secret,” aka the heart of the book, I very much enjoyed this one.

Character development was flawed somehow. I never did feel for them, commit to them empathize with them. A superficial relating of a story.
This book was a fast read - if you enjoy books about French Resistance during WWII, or just enjoy historical novels in general, you will enjoy this book. I learned a lot about the champagne houses/vineyards and their work in the underground French Resistance, and this book told a nice story with a few unexpected twists along the way.
