Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE NEXT WORDS HE WRITES COULD BE HIS LAST . . .

Austria, 1938: The Vienna Writers Circle meets at Café Mozart to share hopeful stories during a hopeless time.

But when the Nazis take over, everything changes. With their Jewish families' now under threat, the writers hide using false identities, their stories becoming their only salvation.

Then a local policeman begins a dangerous mission to help them. But he 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?

Critic reviews

A story about loyalty love and courage. I highly recommend this page turner (Tova Friedman, The Daughter of Auschwitz)
An enticing account of Hitler's influence away from the battlefield... Terrifying and heart-breaking (Mandy Robotham, The Resistance Girl)

Darkly compelling, evoking the constant dread of life in wartime Austria (Fiona Valpy, The Dressmaker's Gift)

A real page turner.

This book is probably the best book I have ever read. A very moving story, full of intrigue, with strong characters and a great plot which kept me riveted until the last page!

Great story, engaging from the first minute

Even if you're not typically a fan of books set in WWII, you might still enjoy this one. It's a great story, engaging right from the start, with a very good performance.
