License to Thrill: Lily Bollinger

By: Rosenberg, Rebecca

The Nazis wanted her champagne. The critics wanted her erased. Lily Bollinger refused to surrender.

1940: In occupied France, the Bollinger cellars are a battlefield. Newly widowed Lily must host the Nazi Weinf hrer while Resistance fighters hide in the chalk tunnels directly beneath her feet. To protect her legacy, Lily becomes a master of deception-outwitting the Reich by day and defying them by night, bound by a dangerous secret and a mysterious lover known as the Commodore.

1970: Lily reigns as the undisputed "Dame of Champagne," but the new decade brings new enemies. From triumphant tours of America to high-stakes court battles in London, she has conquered the world-yet her own house is under siege. As feuding nephews tear at the empire from within and a venomous critic dismisses her as a relic, Lily makes her move.

In her most audacious gamble, Lily forges an unbreakable bond between Bollinger and the world's most sophisticated spy: James Bond.

As her seventy-fifth birthday looms, Lily executes one final maneuver to secure her empire. But when her rarest vintage is uncorked, a long-buried truth resurfaces-proving her greatest achievement wasn't just the wine she saved, but the secrets she kept.

Two eras. One legacy. A woman who proves the finest vintages are impossible to crush.

Fascinating read about a true woman during WWII.

Fascinating read about a true family and their winery during WWII. I really loved the story line, the characters and all that I learned about wineries and what they had to endure during the war. Lily was a true person and strong woman to do what she could to defy the Nazi's and their demands.
