Do not be
misled by its title, this is no cheap novel about one happy family’s place of
residence.
Early into the
introduction, the reader understands that Good
Living Street is the translation of the German name Wohllebengasse, the Viennese
street that is central to Tim Bonyhady’s story: one that is also his family’s,
as he clearly states in the subtitle “The
Fortunes of My Viennese family”. A tale that is not all about good living,
even though these folks’ early background was one of the wealthiest in the
world.
