Beschreibung

Professor Arthur Lash, born Artur Lasch in pre-war Austria, takes his American wife and their three sons back to Vienna, in 1960, to see how well his father is 
rebuilding his life after regaining the factory stolen from him when Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938.  
 
For Arthur, the journey helps him re-establish his links with the city he was brought up in; for the rest of his family, their European holiday triggers emotions of a very different kind—secret longings, near disasters and absurd mishaps—all disruptive in different ways, and all watched over by their wise but needy and uninvited travelling companion, Mrs. Woodbine, the family nanny. 
 
A masterly piece of writing.
Verfügbar seit: 07.10.2024.
