Cute romance story. I really didn't expect myself to enjoy it but I ended up finishing it in one night.I remember now why I decided (after A Song for Summer) why I should give some time before I take next book of Eva Ibbotson. Again, on the one hand I am enchanted and I want to read more of her stories, on the other hand I feel that I must recover after this one.Here we have a vanishing world of Austrian culture which for long time (until world wars) was one of the highest in the world. Who from West Europe or USA remembers / knows today how important Vienna was? If you don't know you can start
I really liked this book, and the main character reminded me of my friend Julia from college. It's about a girl, Ruth, whose father is the dean of paleontology at a Viennese University. At the start of Hitler's reign, he is replaced with a non-Jew and his family flees to England. However, Ruth is sent ahead on a student visa and doesn't make it across the border because she has already been caught at political rallies and has been red flagged. She waits until her family leaves and then returns

I did not know what to expect from Eva Ibbotson's books. I had seen them a lot whilst working in libraries, but had never picked them up and did not know anything about the author herself. I had assumed she was a young writer, not a woman who died in 2010, at the age of eighty-five, with such a rich history behind her. Having now finished five of her books, I can now say that I completely understand why she is an author who is held in such high regard. She weaves history and romance together so
I am actually quite disappointed in this book. I read "A Song for Summer" and loved it and was excited to get my hands on another of Ibbotson's books. My main complaint was that I felt like I had read the story before -- a sweeter, more compelling version with characters I found more honest and likable. I actually loved some of the secondary characters but not Ruth and Quin so much. I mean Ruth had this amazing life growing up around these amazingly smart people and living by the sea in Austria
This was a lovely book recommended to me by my dear friend, Fiona. I needed something light and nice to read during a diificult time (I usually read very dark books) and this was perfect. It has lovavble(and a couple of not so lovable) characters. It's a love story (I wouldn't classify it as a romance, as our library did)that takes place on the edge and at the beginning of WWII, but it really doesn't get into any gory details. I really grew to love the main character, Ruth. If you're looking for
