A NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLER


A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE


A vibrant tale of love, companionship, and renewal set against the transformations of 1960s Vienna.


"How I loved this book! Filled with truth after truth, poignantly rendered and given to us with tender open-handedness."--Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge


Summer 1966. Robert Simon is in his early thirties and has a dream. Raised in a home for war orphans, Robert has nonetheless grown into a warm-hearted, hard-working, and determined man. When the former owners of the corner café in the Carmelite market square shutter the business, Robert sees that the chance to realize his dream has arrived.


The place, dark and dilapidated, is in a poor neighborhood of the Austrian capital, but for some time now a new wind has been blowing, and the air is filled with an inexplicable energy and a desire for renewal. In the newspapers with which fishmongers wrap the char and trout from the Danube, one can read about great things to come, a bright future beginning to rise from the quagmire of the past. Enlivened by these promises, Robert refurbishes the café and, rewarding him for his efforts and search of a congenial place to gather, talk, read, or just sit and be, customers arrive, bringing their stories of passions, friendships, abandonments, and bereavements. Some are in search of company, others long for love, or just a place where they can feel understood. As the city is transformed, Robert's café becomes at once a place of refuge and one from which to observe, mourn, and rejoice.


Combining the enchantment of warm prose with tender humor, Robert Seethaler has written a charming parable of human existence animated by unforgettable characters and a kaleidoscope of human stories.


★ "A gem of a novel, whimsical and bittersweet but never sentimental, with indelible characters and a powerful sense of place."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
