Clara

"To do Galloway justice, she never tries to make a simplistic case for Clara as the greater composer, or the real author of Schumann's work, or a silent and oppressed woman genius. What interests her is the mesh of responsibilities, obligations and duties which make a 19th-century 'woman's life and love' so extraordinarily hard to combine with a career as a public performer and creative artist....The life-story is extraordinary, and it took daring to decide to turn it into a work of fiction without being either sensational or sentimental."Galloway, Janice is the author of 'Clara' with ISBN 9780743238533 and ISBN 0743238532.
