A bookstore, a famous poet, and a snowy winter in Vienna: Bestselling author Petra Hartlieb ("My Wonderful Bookstore") takes us back to the time of Viennese Art Nouveau around 1910. Marie works as a nanny for a respected family in the Vienna Cottage district. One day, she is sent by the master of the house to the nearby bookstore to pick up a book. However, she returns empty-handed, completely soaked from the snow. The volume has not yet arrived; bookseller Oskar will bring it personally as soon as possible. When Oskar rings the bell at the house on Sternwartestrasse that same afternoon, he has two books with him: one for Mr. Schnitzler and the other for Marie, along with a personal note addressed to the young lady. He would like to see her again. A beautiful historical love story in bibliophile quality.
