This book reminds me of the famous line from Philip Larkin's poem: 'where can we live but days?'.

It's the feeling of sonder captured, as we get to glimpse inside the everyday lives of characters that frequent the cafe.

The fact it is set in post-war Austria underpins the central everyday lives with a backdrop of sadness and, ultimately, hope.

Note to self - be a bit more suspicious when it says on a cover that this book is an international best seller. So hard to believe! This was just an OK novel - nothing particularly special about it.
