The Winemakers Wife by Kristin Harmel.
"At the dawn of the Second World War, Ines is the young wife of Michel, owner of the House of Chauveau, a small champagne winery nestled among rolling vineyards near Reims, France. Marrying into a storied champagne empire was supposed to be a dream come true, but Ines feels increasingly isolated, purposely left out of the business by her husband; his chef de cave, Theo; and Theo's wife, Sarah.

Determined to do her part, she finds a role perfectly suited to her experience as a schoolteacher to help evacuate Britain's children overseas. 1940, London: Lily Nichols once dreamed of using her mathematical talents for more than tabulating the cost of groceries, but life and love charted her a different course. With two lively children and a loving husband, Lily's humble home is her world until war tears everything asunder. With her h...
