Description

In the shadow of a war no one wants to discuss, four young adults navigate the complex social landscape of late 1950s Vienna. As the physical rubble of conflict is cleared, unsettling undercurrents of the post-war era begin to surface in Austrian society. This novel delves into the dark side of this period, exploring the lives of its characters as they grapple with unspoken histories and societal pressures. Through a stark and unflinching lens, the narrative uncovers the hidden tensions and moral ambiguities lurking beneath a veneer of normalcy.
