Marrying Mozart - Readings

Description

Amadeus meets Little Women in this irresistibly delightful historical novel by award-winning author Stephanie Cowell. The year is 1777 and the four Weber sisters, daughters of a musical family, share a crowded, artistic life in a ramshackle house. While their father scrapes by as a music copyist and their mother secretly draws up a list of prospective suitors in the kitchen, the sisters struggle with their futures, both marital and musical—until twenty-one-year-old Wolfgang Mozart walks into their lives. Bringing eighteenth-century Europe to life with unforgiving winters, yawning princes, scheming parents, and the enduring passions of young talent, Stephanie Cowell’s richly textured tale captures a remarkable historical figure—and the four young women who engage his passion, his music, and his heart.

About the Author

My new novel THE BOY IN THE RAIN, set in Edwardian England 1903, is out in the world and doing very well! It is a love story between two men, a shy young artist and a rising socialist speaker, as they struggle to build a life together against personal obstacles and the dangers of prosecution under the gross indecency laws. The audible book will be out August 8th, while the print version continues to gather some marvelous reviews and is making its way into libraries across the U.S. and as far away as Botswana, the Netherlands and Germany. I am very thrilled and thank all the people who cheer the book on every day.My novel CLAUDE & CAMILLE: A NOVEL OF CLAUDE MONET is still finding friends here and in translation overseas. It's the story of Monet in his 20s and 30s as he struggles to sell his work and manage his love for the beautiful, elusive Camille who would die young and forever remain his muse.My other novels MARRYING MOZART, THE PLAYERS, THE PHYSICIAN OF LONDON AND NICHOLAS COOKE all continue to find readers. They were translated into several languages and MARRYING MOZART was turned into an opera.I was born in New York City and still live there; in fact, I have lived in the same apartment for 50 years My heart is half in England/Europe where I have family and consider myself an emotional citizen there.Please do visit my website StephanieCowell.com. I will be starting a very special mini-blog soon about life in England 1903: arts and sexuality in Edwardian England.
