From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Gauci comes a powerful and unforgettable story of one woman’s incredible will to survive and protect those she loves against insurmountable odds.

Vienna 1938: Austria’s leading couturier, Christina Lehmann, sits at the pinnacle of Viennese society. Her lover, the renowned painter Max Hauser, is at the height of his career. But Max harbors a secret, and it is only a matter of time before the Gestapo finds out. The situation takes a dramatic turn on Kristallnacht, when the pogrom against the Austrian Jews escalates and one of Christina’s Jewish seamstresses is brutally murdered.

In order to protect both Max and her couture house, Christina begins a double life, plunging her into the shadowy world of Nazi oppression, fear, and mistrust fueled by ancient hatreds.

As Vienna descends into chaos, hunger, and disillusionment, will her deception be enough to save Max—or will it end in tragedy?

Based on actual events, this is an epic story of courage and resilience. It is the kind of book that wraps around your soul and leaves an impression.

The author researched real life experiences during WW 2 and the horror inflicted on an unimaginable number of people. The world has not learned. So sad in light of what is happening today.

The fortitude of women under horrible conditions

This is a different telling leading up to and experiencing the characters of Whorl War Two. Some characters loved and some
hated. I found myself engrossed in feeling for the main character especially and those close to her.

The narration was perfect. I learned a lot that I did not know of facts. I enjoyed the epilogue. This was at one a beautiful
and very disturbing novel. I loved it so much.

Ww2 historical fiction my favorite genre ; therefore I feel I can judge this book after listening too so many. Second book of this author I have listened too. Hated for it to end. It is realistic and doesn’t spare the details of the cruelty of nazis. You will love this book and learning about the Vienna fashion center was so informative.

One of the read audiobooks I have ever listened too
