Synopsis

One woman takes hold of her legacy in an epic tale of Viennese romance, deception, and danger. Vienna, 1892. Against all odds, at the height of Belle Époque splendor, Anna Sacher has taken possession of her late husband’s hotel, across the street from the famous opera house. At a time when controlling such a business was an opportunity afforded only to men, Anna is as vigilant as she is relentless. Now, under her ownership, the Hotel Sacher thrives amid the tumult of a changing continent, even as intrigue follows in the shadows. Through its opulent halls stride visitors from all walks of life, including some of the most glamorous figures of Viennese society—opera singers, princes, princesses—and the maids and manservants who wait on them. Some guests will find romance. Some will unearth secrets. And some will discover much more than they expected…

Goodreads review by Emily on September 12, 2018

While this book had promise, I cannot recommend it. Perhaps due to format (I read the Kindle version), it seemed to jump around from one character's story to another character's story within the span of a paragraph or two. The author had a cast of many characters, and with that, none of them ever re......more

Goodreads review by Doronike on November 22, 2019

Varbūt tas nav piedienīgi, bet man patīk viesnīcas. Visticamāk tādeļ, ka man tās nesaistās ar darbu, bet ar ceļojumiem, brīvību no ikdienas un zināmu anonimitāti, kad tu esi viesis uz īsu brīdi. Turklāt man patīk arī t.s. ražosanas romāni, kad detalizēti tiek apstāstīts par kādas nozares/profesijas......more

Goodreads review by Christina on August 20, 2018

Picked this as my Kindle First because theoretically, this should have hit all my buttons - historical setting, multiple characters, strong female protagonist. What I expected was an engaging historical novel that captured the atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Vienna. What I got was a rushed, disjoi......more
