The story begins in the very late 19th century with Anna Sacher taking over the Hotel Sacher in Vienna after the death of her husband. From the title, one would think the story would be about her time as manager of this luxury hotel, but it's not. The hotel and Anna play a very minor part in this historical fiction novel. To sum it up quickly, it's about people being fickle and behaving badly! I'm not even sure what the purpose of some of the characters in the novel was, and there was a plethora of them! I was hoping to get a sense of Vienna pre WWI, but there was not much in the way of sensory descriptions, just dialogue. The story takes in WWI, but only in a minor way. 274 pages Verhaal met als rode lijn het volwassen leven van Anna Sacher-Fuchs, de vrouw die rond de eeuwwisseling 19de-20ste eeuw het Weense hotel Sacher leidde en liet openbloeien. Daarnaast zijn er andere ietwat romantische interessante verhaallijnen die mekaar via het hotel kruisen. Luchtig geschreven, prettige opbouw - met de Liefde en de Dood als beschouwende personages aan de zijlijn - zorgt dit in zijn genre voor enkele leuke leesuren. Het tijdsbeeld dat je erbij krijgt, is een pluspunt. Prettige lectuur op een zomers Oostenrijks/Weens terrasje met Sachertörte en een Wiener Kaffee! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
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... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The story is decent, but it's never fully fleshed out. There are hints of more to come, but then it's over and nothing ever really happened. I typically enjoy historical fiction and while I did enjoy the step back in time, I didn't appreciate the lack of a better ending. ( )
