What Members Thought
This is about the fall of the Habsburg empire. There are some really good scenes as well as depictions of Franz Joseph, the emporor himself. The book is also a saga, following four generations of the von Trotta family. I enjoyed the clear and easy-to-read prose, but would have like both more and stronger dialogue, if only to give the characters more life.
