My Tuesday post where I’ll ‘tease‘ you with the cover, blurb, and first paragraph of one of the titles from my own TBR.

This book is a title I received from publisher David R. Godine via
Edelweiss and I look forward to reading it soon.

Today, Tuesday April 4, 2023 I want to introduce one of the ARCs on my TBR.

This novel will be published on May 2, 2023

Publisher: David R. GodineISBN:  9781567927856 –  248 pages

1)  The author. I’ve read three other of Billy O’Callaghan’s works and loved them all.

2) It is historical fiction based upon real events.

3) Modern day man seeking to uncover his family’s secrets and history.

Anschluss – Vienna, 1938

“After a long cold beginning to the year, a surprise mid-March thaw brings actual heat. Even with the fresh seeming feel of summer, though, fires across the city continue to be lit, and those who have known such false ends before remain cautious of a last wintry bite, so that by noon most days, if there is not a good breeze blowing, the skies above Vienna are greased with smoke and turned the fatty buttermilk pallor of church candles.”

Is this a title that you would consider adding to your TBR pile?

Why, or why not?

Let me know in the comments.
