Acerca de esta escucha
When Isabelle took a chance and eloped with Leon Feininger, her true love, she hadn't stopped to consider what would happen next. Winter on his family's isolated vineyard proves tougher than she expected, and Isabelle finds herself daydreaming, envisioning the wines she and Leon will make when they have their own land.
An unexpected inheritance opens a door for the newlyweds - Leon's uncle has left them a vineyard, and in champagne country no less! But all is not as it seems. The decrepit estate has very little staff to help, and Isabelle cannot focus her husband's efforts on the farm. She soon decides to seize the opportunity to run the vineyard herself. Like her friends Clara and Josephine, she can learn anything she needs to face a new challenge. And with their help, she will even take on the fierce local competition, with generations of wine-making history tying them to the land she's just learning to toil.
Can Isabelle's passion and perseverance bring Feininger champagne to the world? Will life with Leon become the happily ever after she's always dreamed of?

After the tragic death of her little brother, Josephine travels to the Black Forest to heal. There she discovers a feeling of freedom astride a brand-new invention called the "velocipede". The very idea of a woman on a bicycle is beyond taboo - it is indecent and even illegal - but Josephine will not be deterred. She simply needs to find a way to ride without provoking a scandal. Back home, Josephine has the brilliant idea of riding under cover of night, while the world is still asleep.

Leaving behind all that has been mapped out for her, Mimi dares to pursue her passion and sets out alone to make her own mark. A visit to her ailing uncle in the idyllic mountain town of Laichingen, Germany, pauses Mimi’s journey.

I love listening to Petra Durst-Benning’ s books because I am always learning the history of her topics be it champagne or glass blowing. Also for the time period she writes of she always has independent women who stood up for what they wanted and needed.

The second in the Century Trilogy is a wonderful, bubbly novel of three girls ; how they faced the new century, and it's changes
This novel introduces you to three young, adult, girls. It tells how they attempt to break out of the mold that the eighteenth century had placed them and how or if they succeed and what happens to one whose husband's family has ties to the champagne world.
I beg you to read or listen to these novels by Petra Durst-Benning in the order they were written so as to understand how the world changed and how the changes affected people but especially the young women in this story.
