Marrying Mozart, by Stephanie Cowell.
Before Mozart settled down with Constanze Weber he actually courted her older sister, Aloysia. The novel chornicles Mozart's involvement with the Weber family. Besides Constanze and Aloysia there was also Josefa and Sophie. All four sisters had an impact on Mozart, albeit in ways as varied as their personalities. While the novel is really about the Weber sisters, the reader is also shown the young Mozart who was in a time of transition when he was courting, as he was no longer the famed child prodigy and as an adult had not yet been able to make his way as an adult composer of Operas.
