Café Engel - Fateful Years (Vol.2)

An impressive family saga about the fate of a coffeehouse dynasty in the 20th century 

The CAFÉ ENGEL series tells the thrilling story of a tradition-steeped café in the spa district of Wiesbaden, from the post-war years through the 1950s to the economic miracle of the 1960s. The café becomes the setting for a stirring family saga full of secrets and passions. Simultaneously, it represents hopes for a new beginning. CAFÉ ENGEL is exciting and at the same time wonderfully human and warm-hearted.

Fateful Years is volume 2 of the trilogy and focuses on the 1950s.

Wiesbaden, 1951. Café Engel is facing competition. The more modern Café König has opened up next to the tradition-steeped Café owned by the Koch family. While Hilde Koch tries in vain to convince her parents to modernize the café, the hard-won relationship with the love of her life also threatens to fail. In terms of happiness, her brother August is no better off. After returning from internment as a POW in Russia, he chooses - of all things - a young Russian woman, whose arrival threatens to split the family apart.
