Would a woman be able to take over a vineyard and make quality wine and champagne?

We meet Veuve Clicquot in the 1800s who turned her business into an empire and did it without her husband. No one thought a woman could do it.

Then we meet Natalie present day who ran to Paris just so she could avoid taking care of what was left of the things from her divorce.

She meets Mme. Clicquot through a book of her published letters. Those letters saved Natalie from her despair and helped her move forward without fear of taking risks and follow her dreams.

Natalie has a great time in Paris, and you will enjoy it with her as she changes her hairstyle and goes on a shopping trip where fashion counts more than anything.

Back to Mme. Cliqout - she has a more difficult time convincing everyone she can run her business, and we all know how they are proved wrong and how that turned out.

THE CHAMPAGNE LETTERS is a delightful read about women taking risks and enjoying success and happiness….even though success and happiness have some setbacks for both of them.

If you need a change of pace, care to learn about wine and champagne making and the life of the ?Champagne ?Queen? of Reims as well as spending time with two delightful, strong women in this well-researched book, this one fits the bill with a great twist in one of the character’s lives. 5/5
