Rosa Havelka is a woman of her time. From a Prague orphanage to the bedrooms of the Austro-Hungarian court, from imperial impersonations to imprisonment for murder, Rosa shines through the sordid glamour of fun-de-siecle Vienna, and makes it her own.
In her footsteps follows Magnolia Brown, a young New Yorker beginning a tentative romance in modern Vienna. Despite her lover's hypochondria and mother-fixation, Magnolia is just as much her own woman as Rosa ever was. More so, indeed, than either woman could ever have imagined.
'Vienna Passion' is a stylish, shocking and witty novel of mistresses, music, unhealthy obsessions, and a very unsentimental education.
