Night Falls on the City by Sarah Gainham
A highly acclaimed bestseller when first published in the 1960s and now back in print, Night Falls On The City is an unforgettable portrait of wartime Vienna.

Beautiful actress Julia Homburg and her politician husband Franz Wedeker embody all the enlightened brilliance of pre-war Vienna. But Franz is Jewish, and just across the border the tanks of the Nazi Reich are primed for the Anschluss.

Soon after the German troops enter Austria, disappearances become routine and Franz must be concealed. In the shadow of oppression, the streets are full of collaborators and spies, allegiances shift and ancient hatreds resurface, and Julia must strike hateful bargains with the new order if she and her husband are to survive.
