Sounds like a good book! I recently saw a film in the same vein: Immortal Beloved, about Beethoven and the search for his heir. I love learning about historical personages through fiction, although it’s hard to be sure how accurate it is. I’m reading Philippa Gregory’s The Other Queen, and her portrayal of Mary Queen of Scots is so much different from the film Elizabeth: The Golden Age. It makes you want to pick up a non-fiction book!

I don’t know much about the man other than his music. This sounds like a wonderful book! You just added another book to my TBR.

I read an article about Mozart’s sister a few months ago. Really interesting history. It would be fun to read this account.

My knowledge of Mozart is limited to his music. Out of all the composers I’ve always found his flute solos to be the most difficult. Then again that might just be my perception because I never did manage to master the Mozart solo that I worked on for a few years in high school.

I love the cover of this book! It looks like fun historical fiction.

Thanks for the great review. Nancy Moser’s Mozart’s Sister has been on my tbr pile for a while now and I’m looking forward to reading it. Incidentally I recently purchased Just Jane and picked up a used copy of Rita Charbonnier’s Mozart’s Sister. It will be interesting to compare the two.

I've been wanting to read this book for awhile. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Plus, the cover looks beautiful. I wish I had a dress like that. :p I've tagged you for a meme, if you are interested. ~ Popin
