Weaving together fact and fiction, this story imagines the life of Mozart's sister. Herself musically gifted, Nannerl is nonetheless eclipsed by her virtuoso brother, her talent squelched by their overbearing father. Meyer portrays Nannerl as a winsome heroine who suffers and overcomes innumerable disappointments in both her musical career and personal life. The historical setting is richly displayed.
