Mozart's Wife (Book) - 9/21/2008 9:02:29 AM
I'll be spending some time on your M.W. website. And being a bit financially depressed, (yes there are STILL composers today, who really are! (independent) and are paying highly for it)I may have to wait until October to buy this; I think it IS one I must read. As author of one semi-biographical H.F. novel (The Last Renaissance Man) who's main chararacter is modeled on English composer Henry Purcell, I'm impressed to see how you've treated a similar project. Of course, this novel focuses on his wife, a challenge that can be exploited, because like my Henry Purcell paralell, not too much known of her. Yet her husband and time period is well known. Purcell's music is well known but his life details are few. I think the less known about the life can be a virtue in historical fiction, if the writer is re-creative enough.
Most of all, I was intrigued by your article on your site: "A Day in the Life of a Historical Fiction Writer" (something like that) - I too seem to have no taste for some of the historical romance that seems to sell the most, simply because it just isn't historical to me.
I wrote mine in the first person and tried to capture details and at least some nuance of the period language and trappings of the time (17th century)
My problem was I lacked a good content editor. (independently published unfortunately)
It will be fascinating to see how you, a much more successful and mature writer (how many novels?) handles this challenge.
I'll let you know when I read it...
Sincerely, Michael Guy (author/composer: the Last Renaissance Man/CD: August Ocean Overture)
Mozart's Wife (Book) - 7/13/2008 1:05:52 PM
Many a romance novel ends with marriage. The courtship, the chase, the first declarations of love … these things provide the backbone of the novel, and in the end there is marriage and, presumably, a happy ever-after. In Juliet Waldron’s historical novel Mozart’s Wife, however, the courtship and marriage of Konstanze Weber and Wolfgang Mozart is only the beginning. The true story begins with the wedded life that follows, when romance and love are truly tested. Konstanze begins the novel as a self-conscious young maiden, overlooked in favor of her more talented sisters. She falls in love with Mozart and can hardly believe that the astonishing young composer has chosen her for his one true soulmate. But marriage to the musical genius turns out to be a tumultuous existence for Konstanze, who quickly must mature into a wife, a mother, and household accountant. Konstanze, who grew up in a musical family, is not unappreciative of Mozart’s genius, but reality dictates that music be treated as a business, rather than an art. While Wolfgang Mozart follows his muse, creating the music he loves—whether there is a market for it or not—Konstanze tries to prevent them from falling into poverty. Mozart is flighty, unpredictable, and easily swayed by his friends. Konstanze has to wrest control of the household accounts from him just to keep their family from ruin. Like many women of her day, she finds herself constantly pregnant; every childbirth is a life-endangering horror, and the precious infants are easily carried off by disease. Grief for her children and scandalous rumors of her husband’s infidelity test the limits of her love, but Mozart’s emotional bond with his wife proves strong enough to last beyond his death—surprising even Konstanze. Juliet Waldron has created a believable, multi-faceted portrait of a wife loved but betrayed, adoring and yet resentful, capricious and sometimes spiteful. Mozart’s Wife is a memorable historical novel about a woman who has been long overlooked and often maligned by historians, but without whose intervention Mozart’s music might have been lost to the world forever.
Independent Heart (Book) - 10/3/2001 4:50:42 PM
An overlooked gem of a novel that brings to life the story of Konstanze Mozart, wife of the talented, eccentric, irresponsible, and promiscuous genius Wolfgang Amadeus. Waldron clearly poured years of research and passion into her novel, for her 18th-century world springs vividly to life, and each character--from Konstanze to the lowliest servant--is intricately and thoughtfully drawn. Proving that historical fiction should not automatically be equated with a dry, heavy read, MOZART’S WIFE successfully combines romance, history, music, and even erotica and leads the reader on a memorable journey into the life of a long-ago superstar. A must have.

That's why the last three years, since I left thirty years of teaching in the dust, has moved so fast. I seem busier without a paying job than when I was in the classroom and each day seemed to last forever even when I wasn't watching the clock, because I was so busy working to keep the attention of kids. I didn't know that about the heart beat. Thanks for that info. Sometimes, when I wake my heart feels as if it were racing to meet the sunrise and slows after I get out of bed. Thank you for this information and point-of-view. Two of my hiking, mountain climbing friends are gone now. Since they left this earth, I don't spend as much time as I should with nature. Those were great times climbing into a breath taking (in more ways than one) sky above ten thousand feet.

There's struggle in this and anxiety and a great deal of love...the need to work, leave loved ones behind, the pain and worry of separation...you unfold them all tenderly and so personally it gives the poem a lasting richness.

Mommy Gets a Job (Poetry) - 8/12/2009 4:22:50 PM
Our generation saw the beginning of a whole new family composition. We as first children who saw our grandmother's as stay home Mom's to our mother's as part time workers to finally the majority of women needed to work to keep up with the rising cost of living. Great capture of the hard decisions mother's made and the separation anxieties that went along with it.

Juliet,
Outspoken, angry, frustrated...and who can blame you? Timely and completely relevant. "...sinkholes our robins of spring" is excellent, smacks the brain, and "...the hunted, rabbit still" ends the poem on the right sinister, frightening and frightened note. This is fine work.
