Vienna Nocturne by Vivien Shotwell
3.0
This book is a fictionalization of real people. It is set in the opera world of the late 1700's. The main character is Anna Starace, a soprano. She becomes the toast of Vienna and has a special relationship with Mozart. I put this on the history shelf because the people and places are real and on the romance shelf because of the relationship between Anna and Mozart, but I am not sure that the book really belongs on either shelf.
I was hoping that since the book was set in the opera world, that it would have something in common with the phantom of the opera (one of my all-time favorite books), but it is nothing of the sort. The cover is beautiful to look at. The story is decent.
