A desperate wish opens up a fantastical world of dreams!
The beautiful prose is magical all on its own. This sentence says it all, "Her music is the ghost in the air". The Kingdom of Back tells the story of a historical musical family within a fantasy twist! Nannerl Mozart has musical aspirations and extreme talent within a restricted society. Her desperate wish, "Help me be worthy", is heartbreaking and tragic. She has extreme worth but doesn't know it because of the burdens of being a female in the day and age when only men could have aspirations to become something that would never be forgotten. Everyone else disappears in the wind like dust.
A loving sister notices her younger brother's extreme talent and musical ear that surpasses her own and instead of letting envy overcome her, she helps his talent blossom and brings light and happiness into his world.
Nannerl's words are as beautiful as her music. She weaves a story about a forest with a princeling and her story becomes real. The princeling appears in their home and the description of him enraptures the mind and senses: "Sapphire hair tumbled shining down his back, and among the strands hung twisted trails
of black ivy, shimmers of moss and forest, night and jewels. His
eyes were large, luminous, and wondrously blue... His
cheekbones were high and elegant in his youthful face, and he
looked so unbearably beautiful that I blushed at the sight of him."
