Story
Seduced by her employer’s son, Evangeline, a naïve young governess in early 19th-century London, is discharged when her pregnancy is discovered and sent to the notorious Newgate Prison. After months in the fetid, overcrowded jail, she learns she is sentenced to "the land beyond the seas", Van Diemen’s Land, a penal colony in Australia. Though uncertain of what awaits, Evangeline knows one thing: The child she carries will be born on the months-long voyage to this distant land.

Story
It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Publisher's Summary
Sweetbitter meets The Nightingale in this pause-resisting novel about a woman who returns to her family’s ancestral vineyard in Burgundy and unexpectedly uncovers a lost diary, an unknown relative, and a secret her family has been keeping since World War II.
To become one of only a few hundred certified wine experts in the world, Kate must pass the notoriously difficult Master of Wine examination. She’s failed twice before; her third attempt will be her last chance. Suddenly finding herself without a job and with the test a few months away, she travels to Burgundy to spend the fall at the vineyard estate that has belonged to her family for generations. There she can bolster her shaky knowledge of Burgundian vintages and reconnect with her cousin Nico and his wife, Heather, who now oversee day-to-day management of the grapes. The one person Kate hopes to avoid is Jean-Luc, a talented young winemaker and her first love.
At the vineyard house, Kate is eager to help her cousin clean out the enormous basement that is filled with generations of discarded and forgotten belongings. Deep inside the cellar, behind a large armoire, she discovers a hidden room containing a cot, some Resistance pamphlets, and an enormous cache of valuable wine. Piqued by the secret space, Kate begins to dig into her family’s history - a search that takes her back to the dark days of World War II and introduces her to a relative she never knew existed, a great-half-aunt who was a teenager during the Nazi occupation.
As she learns more about her family, the line between resistance and collaboration blurs, driving Kate to find the answers to two crucial questions: Who, exactly, did her family aid during the difficult years of the war? And what happened to six valuable bottles of wine that seem to be missing from the cellar’s collection?
What the critics say
“If you enjoyed my Sarah’s Key and Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale, then this wonderful book by Ann Mah is for you.” (Tatiana de Rosnay, author)

the lost vintage
I found the book did not become interesting for me until chapter 8. The remaining part came alive for me until the end. it's heart wrenching to me how the Jewish people suffered at the hands of evil people. unfortunately racism is still happening in society today, I pray someday it will end.

A Little French is Helpful
I really loved the story and appreciated the reader's beautiful French accent to help add depth to the characters. Some of the writing is in French, though, and not repeated in English so it is helpful to know some basic French terms.

Great Story!
Loved this story and the performance of the readers with the exception of the voice for Jennifer who is supposed to be from South Africa but most of the time her accent sounds like a mix from Ireland and Australia. It gave me a good chuckle to hear it and kept things interesting.😁

A slow burn of a story, set between Vichy France and present day. well worth a listen, but as the characters are developed you learn about wine culture in Burgendy. good fun.

Very very slow......could have been half the length. Last half was ok. I’ve definitely read/listened to far better developed stories.

Something a little different
An interesting look at wine growing and the Second World War. Only complaint:the narrators voice did not change much between the two main characters, both women and that made it confusing at times

I love the reader
I did love the reader of this story and that was why I bought this audio book in the first place. Sadly, she barely made this store worth listening to. Waaaaay too much french language, mostly not translated, left me feeling it would have been better if I had been bilingual. Hard to follow harder to relate to and even harder to understand. Save your money...buy an extra bottle of wine... and forget about this book.
