Books by Agnes Hannes

Based on memories of Vera Kara, daughter of the Austrian brew master to Czar Nicholas, the Kara family story is at times a fairy tale and a nightmare. In three generations, they lose four fortunes and must repeatedly surrender their way of life. Although their story could be of hate and regret, it is instead of hope for tomorrow, as the family rebuilds after each tragedy by relegating life's disappointments to the dustbin of yesterday.
