Book Description
STITCHES IN AIR: A NOVEL ABOUT MOZART’S MOTHER is the compelling story of Anna Pertl Mozart, mother of the inspired and heralded 18th century composer. A gifted musician in her own right, Anna’s talents and aspirations were denied during the Age of Enlightenment, which championed the Rights of Man but held that Nature had designed Woman to cook, clean, knit and darn stockings.
