Publisher Notes
A fictional portrayal of the musical partnership of the Schumanns follows Clara's childhood experiences that inspired her career, her marriage to Robert, and her struggle to experience love and creativity in the face of parenthood and her husband's illness.
Media Reviews
"To do Galloway justice, she never tries to make a simplistic case for Clara as the greater composer, or the real author of Schumann's work, or a silent and oppressed woman genius. What interests her is the mesh of responsibilities, obligations and duties which make a 19th-century 'woman's life and love' so extraordinarily hard to combine with a career as a public performer and creative artist....The life-story is extraordinary, and it took daring to decide to turn it into a work of fiction without being either sensational or sentimental."
