A review by wyvernfriend
Madensky Square by Eva Ibbotson

4.0

A story about Susanna Weber, who is a dressmaker, set in 1911, before the world was consumed by World War I but where sabre rattling was already starting to be heard. Anarchism is seen as an interesting hobby and life is interesting. Susanna has carved herself a life in Madensky Square, knows the people there and where she works and lives.

This is an interesting time in her life a time of love and sorrow; of change and trials but overall a story of a life well lived. It's not quite a romance, it's a light book that shines with a love for the location and the characters and a gentle humour for what's going on in people's lives. I really did like the read and look forward to hunting up more by this author.
