Description

The acclaimed writer of Vinegar Hill returns with a tale of two improbable romances—one historic, another contemporary- more than a hundred years and day—separated by a large number of kilometers. Fighting emotions of loss and apathy within the aftermath of an unpleasant breakup, author Jeanette challenges to accomplish a book concerning the long term connection between Clara Schumann, a famous pianist and the spouse of the composer Robert Schumann, and her spouseis protÉgÉ, the fine young composer Johannes Brahms. Jeanette—herself a talented pianist—wonders concerning the suffering character of Clara and Johannesis life-long connection, though this renowned love-triangle hasbeen examined extensively. Were they simply "close friends," as equally steadfastly stated?
