The narrative follows the experiences of Patrick Cooper, an English composer, as he navigates his connections and encounters in Vienna, particularly revolving around his admiration for a young lady he refers to as his "Austrian love," as well as his artistic pursuits amidst the backdrop of war. At the start of the novel, the protagonist is taking a train from Munich to Vienna, reflecting on the beauty of Salzburg and his past experiences during the journey. We are introduced to a rather irascible Frenchman in his carriage who creates a disturbance over customs regulations, which serves as a catalyst for Cooper's thoughts. Once the train continues, he finds himself alone with a young lady, who immediately captures his attention with her charm and beauty. Their initial interaction is marked by his shyness and curiosity about her background, which becomes a mystery as the narrative unfolds, indicating a budding romance amid tumultuous external circumstances. The opening paints a vivid picture of anticipation, with hints of comedic misunderstandings and romantic tension as Cooper reminisces about a past encounter with the young lady, setting a humorous and warm tone for the unfolding love story.
