“Champagne, heartbreak, and two incredibly resilient women star in this romp through 1800’s and current day Reims, France. If you didn’t already think Barbe Nicole (Veuve) Cliquot was a badass, you certainly will after reading The Champagne Letters and seeing how her life and work are still relevant 200 years later.”
— Angie • The Country Bookshop
Perfect for fans of bubbly wine and Kristin Harmel, this historical fiction novel follows Mme. Clicquot as she builds her legacy, and the modern divorcée who looks to her letters for inspiration.
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 quickly and permanently 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 and unexpected turn, she’s forced to make a choice. Should she accept her losses and return home, or fight for the future she’s only dreamed about? What would the widow do?
Kate MacIntosh is always in search of the perfect bottle of wine, a great book, and a swoon-worthy period costume drama. You’ll find her in Vancouver where in her free time she enjoys spending time with friends, teaching writing, and listening to true crime podcasts.
