Über diesen Titel

It is 1940, and Guy and Harriet Pringle and their friends in the English colony in Bucharest find their position growing ever more precarious. The phony war is over and invasion by the Germans is an ever-present threat...

This is the second part of The Balkan Trilogy, which began with The Great Fortune and concludes with Friends and Heroes.

This second book of the Balkan Trilogy was, in my opinion, even better than the first. The characters, having been established in the first book, were allowed to shine more here and develop. Where in the first book I occasionally asked myself, why a particular character was doing something, I had the impression here that every action was very much within our established character's character (so to speak).
The action of the not-so-far-away war also becomes more prominent here and due to Manning's precise description one can really get a feel for the political and social climate in the Rumania of her novel.
All this is, of course, beautifully read by Harriet Walter, making this audiobook a must-listen for everyone who likes historical novels!

A Very Good Sequel!
