A novel written in the 1950's and translated into English by the author's grandson, this novel takes you into the post-war world of Austria - the exiles' returns are political, personal and financially motivated. Their worlds intertwine in a new Viennese society. The characters are compelling and de Waal was ahead of her time in tackling cultural issues. Won this book from Goodreads so leave a comment there as well.

Enjoy & pass along!

I'm so sorry - we left to go to Edmonton right after the meeting and I forgot I only journalled the books I let Dad read!

Taking to the August meet up!

To the finder:
Calgary has an active group of BookCrossers that meet to swap books and discuss book crossing every second Saturday of the month at 11am at Cravings Market on Fairmount Drive SE. We always love to meet new crossers, so please join us any time you like!

Just returned from the August meet up at Cravings and have just about as many books as I brought.

Interesting book about Vienna in the years after the war. Made a person thoughtful about the many ways people were impacted and how many years later there was still so much going on. Hard to imagine being a returning exile.

I am bringing this to the January meetup at Cravings to pass on to the next reader.

Picked this up at the March meeting. Adding it to my Bookshelf to read.
