Like most of you, I enjoyed Professor Adler‘s story most, and was glad he and Nina had a happy ending. Resi‘s story was sad, and both Bimbo and Lucas were creeps. Krieger made my blood run cold. And Father Jahoda certainly had his finger in every pie.

Pickpick

Vienna after WW2 as three characters return. I found it poignant and fascinating. I loved Adlers story the best ,the writing in his story seemed more beautiful to me.
The narrow streets, the cake shop that Kanakis sees through a broken pane and all the smells
‘The hallway was the same - and the smell - that most evocative, most nostalgic of the senses ..‘
I loved the details of life then. . Resi was an unusual character, I felt sad for her.

Tamra Lovely review, Cathy! 😁 I too was really engrossed in Adler‘s return. 4d
Cathythoughts @Tamra Yes. I felt I loved him ❤️ 4d

LeahBergen Great review! I really made me want to visit Vienna one day. 4d
Cathythoughts @LeahBergen Me too ! We were there once for a few days .. I‘d love to go back. 👍🏻🥰 4d
andrew61 Great review Cathy. Yes Adler's tale was the heart of this story and the relationship with Nina is a warm ending that contrasts so dramatically with the sad story of Resi and the materialistic acquisition of Kanelskis. Like @LeahBergen it made me want to visit Vienna. I went in the 80s on an interrail so think I'd appreciate it more now. Great review. 4d
Cathythoughts @andrew61 We were there a few years ago briefly, and I loved it. I prefer it to Paris , and I‘d love to go back as well. The book was very good 👍🏻 3d
CarolynM Lovely review, Cathy. I‘ve only been to Vienna once, back in the 80s. I‘d love to visit again. We were talking about going later this year, but decided against with all that‘s going on in the world right now😬 Maybe in a year or two…🤞 23h
Cathythoughts @CarolynM I know it‘s a scary world , we might go somewhere in September.. but I feel safest at home. 5h

kspenmoll @LeahBergen I am only on page 25 where he is still on the train going into Vienna. But I am intrigued and anxious to see his response to everything. 5d
