The woman who rises from the ashes of first love is a far cry from the artless creature Ilse once was. Sophisticated, accomplished, and doggedly disciplined, Ilse holds all Vienna under her spell, even as she builds an unconventional life behind closed doors. No one suspects what secrets lurk beneath her exquisitely polished façade. No one, that is, until Junius von Hess comes back into her life.
Quillen deBruney's debut novel weaves rich historical detail into a poignant personal narrative about loss, resilience, and the inexorable march of time. From the onset of World War I through the turbulent interwar years and the fall of the First Austrian Republic, Ilse's story unfolds as her country slowly unravels.
