Interesting subject but I did not care for the writing or execution. The first half of the book about Nannerl and Wolfie as children and all the traveling and performances was interesting. The last half of the book could have been summed up in about 30 pages. What really turned me off was the contemporary writing style and words supposedly spoken by a girl in the 1700s and the liberal use of one and two word sentences. Whatever happened to a well constructed sentence that conveys the time period and feelings of the characters? I alternately felt the author/character was stamping her foot or shouting at me with all the one word sentences.
