Features: This book uses a chance encounter at a costume ball—the meeting between Empress Elizabeth of Austria and the commoner Franz Tassnik—as a starting point to depict the turbulent Europe of the Habsburg dynasty in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the Vienna filled with Strauss waltzes. It revolves around the legendary image of Empress Elizabeth, telling a real story from the life of Princess Sisi, and excellently showcases love that should not have existed and the heart-wrenching happiness.
