Mme. Clicquot builds her legacy as the maker of France’s best champagne while, in the future, a modern divorcée looks to her letters for inspiration in this vibrant historical fiction novel that is “sheer, sparkling perfection” (Susanna Kearsley, New York Times bestselling author).
Reims, France, 1805: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot has just lost her beloved husband but is determined to pursue their dream of creating the premier champagne house in France, now named for her new identity as a widow: Veuve Clicquot. With the Russians poised to invade, competitors fighting for her customers, and the Napoleonic court politics complicating matters, she must set herself apart if she, and her business, are to survive.
In present day Chicago, broken from her divorce, Natalie Taylor runs away to Paris. In a book stall by the Seine, Natalie finds a collection of the Widow Clicquot’s published letters and uses them as inspiration to step out of her comfort zone and create a new, empowered life for herself. But when her Parisian escape takes a shocking turn, she’s forced to make a difficult choice. Should she accept her losses and return home, or fight for the future she’s only dreamed about?
“The Champagne Letters, which sparkles like the finest champagne, will inspire you to reach both for a glass of bubbly—and for the things you really want out of life” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author).
