Advance praise for Mozart's Women
Jane Glover has produced a winner, showing us Mozart from a fresh and fascinating viewpoint: the women in his life. Constanze, for instance, emerges a different creature from the way she is usually portrayed, tempting the reader to revise judgement on her. Written in a delightful, accessible style, this is a book that anyone with an interest in Mozart should have. For the singer it is an indispensable treasure trove of information altogether, hugely enjoyable
Dame Janet Baker
Nowadays it seems that Mozart's genius had always existed, fully formed, from the first. But genius does not flourish in isolation. It is Jane Glover's great gift to show how the women surrounding Mozart his sister Nannerl, his wife Constanze, and her three talented sisters all influenced him, making their own contributions to the creation of the most fascinating, dazzling, and complex women on the opera stage
Judith Flanders, author of Circle of Sisters and The Victorian House
Beautifully written and scholarly without seeming so
Dame Felicity Lott
