As luck will have it, he needs an assistant for a day.

When a film studio picks up her script and none other than Paul Frank – aka Buffalo – is set to direct, Julchen finds herself announcing a totally real engagement to the totally existing Uri in Switzerland – and that is just the beginning of show more the chaos.

I found this three novels in one book collection by Barbara Noack in one of the book shelves at home. It seems to have just materialized there, I certainly don’t know where it came from. But whatever fate conspired to slide this book into my shelves, I want to thank it, because Die Zürcher Verlobung is a fun screwball romance that I absolutely devoured.
