The Viennese Dressmaker

A Haunting Story of Wartime Vienna

By: Kathryn Gauci

Narrated by: Gabrielle de Cuir

From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Gauci comes a powerful and unforgettable story of one woman’s incredible will to survive and protect those she loves against insurmountable odds.

Vienna 1938: Austria’s leading couturier, Christina Lehmann, sits at the pinnacle of Viennese society. Her lover, the renowned painter Max Hauser, is at the height of his career. But Max harbors a secret, and it is only a matter of time before the Gestapo finds out. The situation takes a dramatic turn on Kristallnacht, when the pogrom against the Austrian Jews escalates and one of Christina’s Jewish seamstresses is brutally murdered.

In order to protect both Max and her couture house, Christina begins a double life, plunging her into the shadowy world of Nazi oppression, fear, and mistrust fueled by ancient hatreds.

As Vienna descends into chaos, hunger, and disillusionment, will her deception be enough to save Max—or will it end in tragedy?

Based on actual events, this is an epic story of courage and resilience. It is the kind of book that wraps around your soul and leaves an impression.

Great book

I will read more of Gauci’s books. So happy to find a new author. Thanks

The fortitude of women under horrible conditions

The author researched real life experiences during WW 2 and the horror inflicted on an unimaginable number of people. The world has not learned. So sad in light of what is happening today.

The Viennese Dressmaker

This is a different telling leading up to and experiencing the characters of Whorl War Two. Some characters loved and some
hated. I found myself engrossed in feeling for the main character especially and those close to her.

The narration was perfect. I learned a lot that I did not know of facts. I enjoyed the epilogue. This was at one a beautiful
and very disturbing novel. I loved it so much.

Excellent

Well written and narrated. A glimpse into the horror of the times. One must ask " What would I have done "

I loved this book so much!

This book was fabulous. True to the time period, interesting characters, and a plot that kept moving and held my interest. Saving to my favorites.
