* Clara Schumann has been regarded by history - if at all - as a classical music groupie. However Clara was a prodigy on the piano, her career restricted by temperament, society and the demands of two powerful and difficult men: her father and husband Robert, who suffered from serious mental illness throughout their marriage. Her career is re-assesed in the new novel by Janice Galloway.
Janice Galloway's novel Clara is published by Cape as a paperback original.
