But Kate’s plans are upended when she discovers a secret room in the basement of the vineyard house containing World War II Resistance pamphlets, a stash of invaluable wine, and the belongings of a long-lost great aunt who was a teenager during the Nazi occupation. As she learns about her family’s life in Vichy France, the line between resistance and collaboration becomes razor thin—and Kate becomes consumed with dis-covering who her family aided during the war.

Told with elegance and compassion, The Lost Vintage is an unforgettable tale about reconciling the deeds of the past with the values of the present.
