This author did an amazing job of making a families tragic story turn into the happiest of endings. This book will really tug at your heart strings. One of my favorite historical fiction books I have ever read.

This was such a lovely story about an orphaned Jewish girl dying ww2. I’m so glad she got her happily ever after and was able to save her vineyard with her king lost legacy. I’m also glad that the female main character was able to get her happily ever after with a noble Frenchman that actually knew how to treat her right.
My only complaint about this book was a reference to the spice girls in 1990. They weren’t even a group yet, they formed in 1994.

Thank you @netgalley and @harperPerennial for the eARC of The French Winemaker’s Daughter by @lorettaellsworth_author in exchange for an honest review!

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 A vineyard in Burgundy 1942, seven year old Martine hides in an armoire as she watches her father be taken by the Nazis. Loretta Ellsworth creates an inspiring female lead that shines with bravery and resiliency that keeps her alive in arguably one of the most terrifying times in history. Paris 1990, like our young Martine, Charlotte also has an exquisite palate for wine, passed down through her family. When a rare box of wine confiscated by Nazis goes up for auction, Charlotte is intrigued by the dusty bottle that opens up an absolutely remarkable window to the past in a mysterious note. The French Winemaker’s Daughter is a beautiful and moving tale that transcends time and inspires a sense of hope in even the most hopeless circumstances.

4/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was alright. Only worth a sentence review which is the worst thing you can achieve.
Some books are just so painfully unremarkable and fail to do anything new or inspiring with their genre and the winemakers daughter is one of those. Not good not bad not special in anyway.

Thank you Netgalley and Harper Collins for my E-ARC! I genuinely enjoyed this story! It was such an easy, quick, read and it hit all the marks. I found it a bit predictable, but was still able to enjoy. I would just fact check some historical references mentioned in regard to 1990- Spice girls were not a thing yet- and there is a reference to them. A few other things crossed my mind but this one stood out the most.
