Description
Vienna at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the blue Danube, Strauss's waltzes, and one brave young woman whom the times did not favor. Marianna would like to spread her wings, but societal conventions bind her to marriage, securing her lineage, and supporting her husband Adolf Landsberger, a successful textile entrepreneur. Through her memories as an old woman who retreated with her son to post-war Ireland, we follow not only Marianna's own fate but also the fates of the people she loved and lost. The Danube Cygnet is a novelistic fresco that brings to life the true story of a Jewish industrialist family, as well as an intimate testimony of a sensitive and thoughtful woman.
