This book is a powerful and deeply personal work of historical fiction about a Viennese family from 1938 to 1945 as they navigate the Nazi regime. The protagonist must balance his business and protect his family against the crushing reality of a dictatorship. The writer of this story was born in Vienna, which gives it authenticity and purpose. The powerful narrative shows the resilience of ordinary people. The inclusion of translated newspaper articles of the time is a unique element and a chilling reminder of the Nazi propaganda machine.
