Welcome to Litsy!

Excellent historical fiction, early 1800 in Champagne, France in the times of Napoleon. Barbe Nicole Ponsardin has the gift of Le Nez, a powerful sense of smell that has will help her to become a talented winemaker. Never quite fitting in, always seeming to have to deal with one obstacle or tragedy or another. Whip smart and ahead of her times, Barbe Nicole overcomes and triumphs despite everything. The historical facts(cont in comments)...

I‘m 1/2 way through the novel after finishing the biography. She is now a widow and soon will make history!! I found out the author is going to write three “Champagne Widow” books over the next 2 years. I will try to read those as well- but that TBR LIST is pretty long!!

While reading Paris by Edward Rutherfurd in my Paris readings, they mentioned this woman who owned a champagne house I remembered this was a book by an author that was featured at the #adventuresbythebook #Superbookthree event that I went to in San Diego in February. I‘m going to have to read this next it seems to be a very intriguing story. And she passed out champagne flavored jellybeans to us!
