Helen P, Librarian
The Vienna Writers Circle is an interesting exploration of the climate of fear amongst Jewish intellectuals during the rise of the Nazis and the establishment of the Final Solution.
Primarily following the lives of two writers and their families, Maetis plots an intriguing tale of comradery, personal choice and creative freedom. Lives are torn apart, beliefs hidden, choices made and survival challenged.
With well drawn characters and a perpetual sense of trepidation within, this book captivates the reader and transposes them into the murky world of Nazi Germany. Historical fiction at it's best
