Praise for Mozart's Women

'In Glover's book, Mozart is present as never before . . . [it] immeasurably enhances our sense of who Mozart was, opening window after window into a whole series of remarkable lives. No one who cares about him or his music should be without it' Simon Callow, Guardian

'Jane Glover's elegant and fascinating book illuminates an aspect of Mozart, and of his work, that has often been touched on but never with such detail and insight. Her vivid portraits enable us to appreciate how deeply the remarkable women in his life served as both emotional and artistic muses, and how their spirit informs his masterworks' Renée Fleming

'Jane Glover has pulled off a coup des livres with her fresh take on Mozart's life and work. Glover's approach to her subject, through the women who played such a major role in Mozart's life, seems so obvious that it is a wonder nobody thought of it before . . . a compelling read that wears its scholarship lightly' John Allison, Sunday Telegraph
