Summary
Clara Herzog is a privileged, intelligent young woman whose world is changed forever when 1930s Vienna is swept up by the dark prelude of the Second World War. The cavalry officer she married in spite of her family's objections is soon called away to the thick of the conflict, and it falls to Clara to stay at home to provide and protect. Through the war and its aftermath Clara must make choices and take risks ... but war could not destroy her spirit or lessen her love.
