London, 1938. Young Jim Brown, a porter at London's Victoria Station, comes into a large sum of money and takes his aspirational girlfriend Lizzie Parrish on the foreign trip he's always promised her. During their eventful journey they find themselves caught up in high society, a daring mercy mission, and a Europe darkening under the cloud of Nazism. "Money turns people's heads...With the result they see things they never saw before.” Set in Vienna and Budapest during the advent of the Nazi invasion, this is a moving, thought-provoking yet often amusing story of a naive young couple whose lives are changed forever by the turmoil of a continent at war with itself. Featuring characters from the bestseller Victoria Four-thirty, this book can also be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.
