This book gives wonderful insight into the life of a woman in 18th c. Germany. Talented in her own right, Nannerl Mozart was very limited by her gender. Able to travel and entertain nobility all over Europe with her brother at a young age, she was then confined to a much more restricted life. Moser does a great job of describing the anguish she undergoes throughout a life composed by duty, rather than the desires of her heart.
