The Vienna Writers Circle

Spring 1938The Vienna Writers Circle meets at Cafe Mozart to share hopeful stories during a hopeless time. Mathias and Johannes - fellow writers, cousins, and close as brothers - thrive within this creative group of friends. But when the Nazis take over Austria, everything changes.

With their families' lives now under threat, the men hide in plain sight using false identities. The safety of their loved ones and their writing is their only salvation. A local policeman, Inspector Josef Weber, walks a dangerous line, helping 'hidden Jews' like Mathias and Johannes.

But Weber faces conflicts of his own: having declared his love for a beautiful Romani-gypsy girl, Deya Reynes, he fears that she too will be sent to her death. When all they have left is courage, will they survive?-----Readers have loved this powerful novel:'A compelling story of bravery, love and survival''One of the best books I have read''The twists and turns will keep you engrossed all the way through'
