Summary
From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Gauci comes a powerful and unforgettable story of one woman’s incredible will to survive and protect those she loves against insurmountable odds.
Vienna 1938: Austria’s leading couturier, Christina Lehmann, sits at the pinnacle of Viennese society. Her lover, the renowned painter Max Hauser, is at the height of his career. But Max harbors a secret, and it is only a matter of time before the Gestapo finds out. The situation takes a dramatic turn on Kristallnacht, when the pogrom against the Austrian Jews escalates and one of Christina’s Jewish seamstresses is brutally murdered.
In order to protect both Max and her couture house, Christina begins a double life, plunging her into the shadowy world of Nazi oppression, fear, and mistrust fueled by ancient hatreds.
As Vienna descends into chaos, hunger, and disillusionment, will her deception be enough to save Max—or will it end in tragedy?
Based on actual events, this is an epic story of courage and resilience. It is the kind of book that wraps around your soul and leaves an impression.

Wartime Vienna
I have listened to two Kathryn Gauci books thus kart month, a sage really dies write a great book about WW2 and the resistance movement.
The narrator Gabrielle de cuir breathes life into these books.
So, what’s not to like if you like a WW2 saga based on historical facts with great characters.

insight and understanding
This delightful book brings to life the fears and events of life before the start of WW2, describing how the forces increased the local hatreds,, especially the rise of massive tyranny against the Jews.
Characterisation and the details experienced by those characters are gripping and pull the reader into the story.
I recommend this novel as gripping

An easy listen
The story was a bit on the romantic side and the heroine was a bit too good to be true but it was narrated quite well so a pleasant listen

Stop saying Owstria it’s Austria
The narration is sleepy and I can’t bear to hear Austria mispronounced one more time. Really irritating
