Good book and great narration.

What a wonderful story. Very much a melodrama, but the characters are written so that they compel you to learn their whole story and adventures. The narrator on this audio book helped to keep the atmosphere and to continue to draw you along into the next part of the book. And the next and next. I would listen to other books read by her. I had not read a book set in Vienna before the first war. Nor had I known about the Americans who set about to follow hopeful careers by training in medicine or in music by going to Vienna. So the descriptions of the city and way of life, even the idea of an American community, were fascinating to learn about. I would definitely recommend reading the book or indeed listening to it. It will tug at your heart strings, though, so have some hankies at hand.

Good book, wonderful narration

I enjoyed the story and the narrator.

Lovely story easy stay interested and get to know characters.

I tried 3 times to listen to this and I could not follow. The locations, characters and whole story line just did not hit me. It is probably me, so give it a try if you want. Narrator was great though.

I gave up 3/4 th through it

It was quite slow
