Wenn es Frühling wird in Wien

Vienna, 1912: After a childhood of poverty, Marie Haidinger has made it. For a few months she has been a nanny at Sternwartestraße 71 - the household of the famous poet Arthur Schnitzler in the dignified cottage quarter. When she picks up a book for her employer in the nearby bookshop on Währinger Straße, she gets to know a whole new world: The world of books. And Oskar, the bookseller who is as charming as he is penniless and who soon makes advances towards her. But is Oskar serious about her? Marie realizes how fragile happiness can be when Sophie, the Schnitzlers' maid, almost dies after an abortion. And when she overhears that the master of the house has seen her Oskar late at night in the fine "Sacher" - in the company of an exceedingly pretty young lady ... Against the backdrop of Arthur Schnitzler's works and precisely researched events, Petra Hartlieb resurrects the Vienna of the great poet - from the servants' quarters to the glamorous salons of the free-spirited intellectuals of the time.
