Gift edition in a small format, printed in full linen with a ribbon bookmark. A grand family novel that tells the story of a Jewish family clan in Vienna in an anecdotal, vivid, and compelling manner. Whether it's Königsbee, who has twisted every expression, or the mother who nearly misses the birth of her son over a card game – the life threads of various people are intertwined across spatial separations, through the horrors of Nazi rule, and through family disputes after the war in the charming Vienna of the coffee houses.
