Hi everybody !
Does anybody know if there is a book existing about Gräfin Sophie Chotek, the woman who married Archduke Franz Ferdinand morganatically and later became Duchess of Hohenberg?
I have only found some books about Franz Ferdinand, it seems that there is no book existing about her.
Of course I know that she was a very private person and that she was only allowed to be at her husband´s side officially for two times: at the visits in Berlin and in Sarajewo ... But she is famous, ironically because of the circumstances of her death. So I wonder if there is really no book existing ...

Hello Kat
there's a wonderful book "The Secret of Sarajevo; the Story of Franz Ferdinand and Sophie" by Hertha Pauli. She talks about Sophie Chotek in detail, it's not a biography on her but it's a quite interesting good. You will find a link below where to buy this book on the Net

Thanks a lot, Alberto.
I will try to get the book.
I looked in the internet and found out that it has been written in German and that some antiquarian bookshops still have German editions.
