I absolutely love the cover. I love blue and intricate images incorporating the tree of life. I find this cover intriguing because the music notes and leaves are thoughtful additions to the tree. The line at the bottom of the cover draws me in, "To be remembered in this world, she created another." That alone is enough for me to want to know the story.
I am always fascinated by the story behind the story - what's going on when the main plot is at a lull. This story gives you a look at Wolfgang Mozart's life from the perspective of someone who is equally important - his sister. Her perception of the family, of the importance of the smallest details, grabbed my attention. I prefer characters who are aware of everything, because you get a lot of cues from that where the story may go.
I love the maps for this book as well. I like having a starting point for my imagination.
