Book Description:
|
Both a sweeping love story and a portrait of an age, this deeply moving debut novel brings to life two extraordinary figures -- thirty-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and young English soprano Anna Storace -- in prose as spirited, timeless, and touching as Mozart's music. Written by a young author studying opera, Vienna Nocturne is the dramatic story of a woman's battle to find love and fame in an eighteenth-century world that controls and limits her at every turn.
