"Exile is a strong and touching story which details not only many little known details of World War II, but share an intimate knowledge of European politics and social customs. The author did a superb job of melding together the various plot lines and intrigues leading to Austria's takeover and the attempt by the Nazis to rule all of Europe." --Meridian Magazine"This novel was exceptional. It was historically accurate, yet entertaining and involving at the same time. I appreciated the author's ability to weave correct historical events with the fictional characters. I was engaged throughout the novel and also learned some things I didn't know before. The characters were well-developed and the storyline wasn't frivolous in any regard. I am hoping there will be another novel about this family."--5-Star Amazon ReviewSynopsis: It is 1938, and Austria has just fallen to the Nazis.
