Synopsis
A confident and creative account of “the creation of the Quaker International Centre in Vienna in the years following the First World War and the parallel development of a small community of Austrian Friends benefits greatly from her evident narrative skill. The imaginative ways in which a procession of Friends and others sought to tackle the intense economic deprivation and alleviate tl1e effects of the acute social and political upheavals of the day are briskly and compellingly explored.”
