Endearing, charming, well-researched book about author's relationship with her starling, and her fascination with Mozart and HIS starling. As a professional musician, I really appreciated the music history surrounding Mozart and his life in Vienna and the honest, sometimes hilarious reveals about her life with Carmen. Ornithologists will also NOT be disappointed. Highly recommend this gem of a book.
