review 1: This would be such a good movie! Mozart! Arias! Opera! The book is a history lesson set within a well-told story about a diva from the time of Mozart. Makes me want to see Vienna even more than before, but at an early age. There is no sympathy to be found for the main character, nor has the author made her out to be moralistic but quite human. It doesn't matter the era, when you rise to stardom at too early an age, you lose your good growing edge and make all kinds of social blunders.

... morettle "tryst" between Anna and Mozart a teaser, an aside. The author is an Opera singer, so I am sure this is what she intended. She succeeded in providing a lot of information about Opera singing.I am just spoiled by Stephanie Cowell's writing and this cannot compare. "Marrying Mozart" was a delightful read. less

Where I am in life always affects what I feel when I read. This book was particularly poignant.
