Product Description
Twenty-year-old Ruth Berger is desperate. The daughter of a Jewish-Austrian professor, she was supposed to have escaped Vienna before the Nazis marched into the city. Yet the plan went completely wrong, and while her family and fiance are waiting for her in safety, Ruth is stuck in Vienna with no way to escape. Then she encounters her fathers younger college professor, the dashing British paleontologist Quin Sommerville. Together, they strike a bargain: a marriage of convenience, to be annulled as soon as they return to safety. But dissolving the marriage proves to be more difficult than either of them thoughtnot the least because of the undeniable attraction Quin and Ruth share. To make matters worse, Ruth is enrolled in Quins university, in his very classes. Can their secret survive, or will circumstances destroy their love?

 Wonderful Book! November 21, 2008
An excellent book. The ending was not quite as much as a romance fanatic such as myself craves, but it was still very sweet. I highly recommend it.
 Boring November 5, 2008

I wanted to love this book, but it takes so long to get into the story that I didn't even bother finishing it. Very dull with way to much description. There are so many great books out there, no point in wasting your time on this one.
Surprise! Another Success for Eva Ibbotson May 5, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Eva Ibbotson has done it again! Just when I think I may be disappointed in her, because you never know when an author will exhaust their repertoire, I'm pleasantly surprised. Yet another story of pure devotion, history, twists and turns, and another reason to burn the midnight oil. I love her ability to describe a place so that I can say I've been to Vienna and England. My only disappointment is that I can't meet her and beg her to write more, plus I have so many questions. I highly recommend this book!

After reading Eva Ibbotson's 4 adult books, I want to say that I love her writing. It's like having a bit of a chill and her books are like the blanket fresh from the dryer you cuddle in. Descriptive, endearing and comforting. Thank you for these stories, they are truly beautiful
