«Plaza Madensky» is the romantic and historical novel by Eva Ibbotson, published by Mondadori in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Susanna Weber runs an elegant fashion shop in Madensky Square, a peaceful corner of imperial Vienna. In the years before the First World War, her life crosses paths with those of customers and neighbours: loves, family secrets and confidences intertwine in a city marked by music and by the changes of an unrepeatable era.
The work was originally published in English as «Madensky Square» in 1988; this Spanish edition appeared in 2000.
For readers of period novels seeking strong female characters and the reconstruction of everyday life in Europe before the First World War.
Eva Maria Charlotte Michelle Ibbotson was an Austrian-born British novelist, known for her children's literature. Some of her novels for adults have been reissued for the young adult market.

She was a finalist for the 2010 Guardian Prize at the time of her death. Her last book, The Abominables, was among four finalists for the same award in 2012.
