Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Clara follows the story of Clara Herzog, a privileged, intelligent and thoughtful young Jewish woman whose world changes forever when 1930s Vienna is swept up by the dark prelude of the Second World War. When the cavalry officer she married, in spite of her family's objections, is called away to the thick of the conflict, it falls to Clara to stay at home to provide and protect. Through the Holocaust, its aftermath and into the present Clara must make choices and take risks that are as heroic and life-altering as any that men make in battle.

A story of love between an aristocratic young woman and the cavalry officer she marries, set in Austria during the tumultuous days before, during, and after World War II.
