from the back:
"Vienna, 1938. Beautiful actress Julia Homburg and her politician husband, Franz Wedeker embody all the enlightened brilliance of their native city. But Wedeker is Jewish, and at the border Nazi tanks are primed for the Anschluss.
When the SS invades, Franz must be concealed; with daring ingenuity, Julia conjures a hiding place. In the shadow of oppression, ancient hatreds resurface and the streets are full of spies and collaborators. A clear conscience is a luxury few can afford, and Julia finds she must strike a series of hateful bargains if she and her husband are to survive."
