Stella Whittaker moves from a quiet English town to Vienna in 1937 to improve her music skills. Staying with old family friends, the Krauses, she feels less comfortable than she expects as a sense of mysterious menace hangs over the household. Nevertheless, Stella enjoys her new life and the sophistication of the city. More than anything, she enjoys falling in love with Harri, a young Jewish doctor. And despite many warning signs, Stella’s love for him blinds her to the possibility of trouble when it seems inevitable to others.
FURTHER READING SUGGESTION
[[Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman]] - an uplifting saga which spans decades and travels miles to tell the stories of two women determined to succeed and find happiness - against all the odds. We also have a review of [[The River House by Margaret Leroy]].
