Café Engel - The Golden Years (Vol.5)

The new volume in the bestselling saga about a traditional café!

Wiesbaden in 1965. Under Hilde's management, Café Engel is in its heyday. There’s an urgent need for new staff, but when Hilde hires an Italian waiter, Giuseppe, her parents have a hard time with the "Southerner's" mentality. In addition, there’s turbulence in the marriage of Hilde’s brother Willi. As he celebrates triumphs at the Wiesbaden theater, he has also been making advances toward a pretty colleague. When Hilde's husband befriends Giuseppe and then plans a trip to Italy with her, Hilde is initially skeptical. Is this the right time to put the café in the care of her family? Yet the prospect of summer sun and the blue sea pushes all her doubts aside . . . with unforeseen consequences.
