Review
"J. D. Landis has produced a book as haunting and complex as the music of his subjects, Robert and Clara Schumann.... I know no book that marries art and life so seamlessly; 'If music be the food of love, ' here we have a feast.- Nicholas Delbanco, author of the lost suitcase
From the Author
The epigraphs are archival. The characters are historical. The dates of events and correspondence are, when verifiable, authentic. The rest is fiction masquerading as fact, and the reverse.
