Description
Clara is a deeply moving study of love, loss and solitude, set against the backdrop of two remarkable musical careers. This novel tells the story of Clara Schumann, celebrated nineteenth-century concert pianist and composer, editor and teacher, who was also the wife of Robert Schumann and the mother of his eight children.
A lyrical and vibrant account of Clara's life, this book explores timeless themes - the inescapable influences of childhood, creativity and marital life, communication and silence - and how art is made and how it may erode or save the life that nourishes it. A powerful exploration of thwarted love, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the human experience.
