Description

Susanna Weber's dress shop stands in the picturesque Madensky Square, a quiet little world of its own, nestled in the heart of glittering pre-war Vienna. As the winter of 1910 unfurls into spring, Susanna starts a journal about life in the Square, observing the people and buildings that make up her community.

From Frau Schumacher's six daughters and a baby on the way, to Professor Starsky's menagerie of sickly reptiles, the Square is a vibrant tapestry of lives and stories. Susanna's own life is one of quiet heartbreak, hidden beneath her brisk kindness and brilliant talent. Her dear friend Alice is the only one who notices, and together they navigate the passions and tragedies of daily life.

Eva Ibbotson's Madensky Square is a witty and poignant snapshot of Viennese life before WWI, offering a rich and nuanced exploration of community, home, and the human heart.
