I’ve never fully appreciated champagne, but I also haven’t had good champagne.
But this book! You guys
Champagne Widows by Rebecca Rosenberg is EXACTLY why I love historical books! This book makes me wish I was better at writing reviews!
Barbe-Nicole is a widow during the 1800s when France has Napoleon Bonaparte starting wars all over Europe. I just loved reading about this time period! So fascinating reading about Napoleon and his love for Josephine and how the people in France felt about him during this time. Barbe-Nicole is a recent widow but she has the gift of Le Nez (an uncanny sense of smell) and she is determined to follow through with her dream of starting a winery. She struggles with the Napoleon Code which prohibits women from owning a business, she is pressured by her father and her former father-in-law, and love interests to just be a good widow and remarry.
I didn’t know going into this book, that this is based on real people, I just adored Barbe-Nicole and all of her amazing ambition! And have now made it my goal to try Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin champagne asap!!
