Mozarts wife aroused strong feelings among her contemporaries. Her in-laws loathed her. Mozart's friends, more than forty years after his death, remained eager to gossip about her failures as wife to the worlds first superstar. Maturing from child to wife to hard-headed widow, Konstanze paid her husbands debts, provided for their children, and relentlessly marketed and mythologized her brilliant husband.
Mozarts letters attest to his affection for Konstanze as well as to their powerful sexual bond. Yet, the question remains: Why did she never mark his grave?

Juliet Waldron nourished a fascination with the past from earliest childhood, perhaps from growing up in a haunted 1790's house. Mozart's Wife won the independent Ebook award for best fiction.
