An interesting look into the fictitious life of Nannerl, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's older sister, who, although equally talented, had to remain in her brother's shadow because her father believed that a woman's place was at home, and since she had some talent on the pianoforte, a piano teacher at best.

She buried her talent in bitterness and for lack of support and love from her father. Having found love in a student's widowed father, she also lost it as a result of her brother's reckless behavior with her student. She then buries herself in a remote village, and cut herself off from her famous brother until his death. ( )

interesting premise...i never knew mozart had a sister. the first 2/3 of the book was VERY slow. if i had not been given a free copy and wasn't obligated to review it, i'm not sure i would've finished it. final third picked up a bit and it was more enjoyable to read. difficulties might have been due to the translation.
