Description
Champagne Widows by Rebecca Rosenberg tells the story of Barbe-Nicole, who inherits a unique sense of smell from her great-grandfather and uses it to make great champagne. However, her life is complicated by her husband's mental illness, their marriage, and the challenges of running a business during times of war. As Napoleon's wars cripple her ability to sell champagne, Barbe-Nicole must navigate the complexities of winemaking and personal relationships. When she falls in love with her sales manager, Louis Bohne, she is forced to make difficult choices that put her freedom at risk. In a dramatic showdown, Veuve Clicquot defies Napoleon himself, risking imprisonment and even death. This gripping historical novel explores the challenges faced by women in business during times of war, and the resilience required to overcome adversity.
