The Château Gauthier

Rich in history, unforgettable characters and sweeping emotion,

The Alsace Chronicles is a powerful series about love, sacrifice and

the unbreakable bonds of family in one of the Second World War’s

most fiercely contested regions.

At its heart, the Château Gauthier, an enchanting family-run vineyard,

nestled among the rolling hills of Alsace, where generations have

lived, loved and made wine together.

The Second World War changes everything..

When Nazi Germany seizes Alsace, the border disappears overnight and the people of this
proud French province are forced to become German. The must speak German, destroy French books, adopt German names. 

But the matriarch Margaux Gauthier refuses to  surrender her heritage —  or her humanity. Her home becomes a sanctuary for those who resist tyranny and those with nowhere else to turn.

Here, a young SOE agent finds allies in the Resistance (Solder’s Girl). A Jewish refugee 

discovers not only  shelter but a family (The Violin Maker’s Daughter). And ordinary men and women are called upon to perform extraordinary acts of courage.
