"As the new century begins, Adele Bloch-Baucher--young, brilliant, and Jewish--is hungry for freedoms unknown to other Viennese women. Then she meets renegade genius Gustav Klimt. Even in an age when sex and art are beginning to break through the facade of convetional society, anti-Semintism simmers in the shadows of Adele's coffeehouse afternoons and cultural salons. Nearly forty years later, Adele's niece Maria Altmann is a newlywed when the Nazis invade Austria--and overnight, her beloved Vienna becomes a war zone. When her husband is arrested and her parents are forced out of their stately home, Maria must summon the courage and resilience that is her aunt's legacy is she is to survive and keep her loved ones--and their history--alive."--Page 4 of cover
