Book excerpt: "Shotwell lyrically navigates her protagonist through love affairs, heartache and dazzling high-stakes performances. This is an exquisite read for history fans, classical-music lovers and romance aficionados alike." --Chatelaine Vienna Nocturne recounts the turbulent life and brilliantly successful career of young British opera singer Anna Storace, a child prodigy who is taken by her parents to Italy at age thirteen to advance her career. In love with life and wildly ambitious, Anna wants everything--to be famous, to be loved--and this leads her to make some fatal choices. We watch her turn from a carefree young girl to a passionate young woman, and it is during this transformation that her affair with Mozart blossoms. The story of their love, no less powerful for being forbidden, is reminiscent of the passionate thwarted romances described in Loving Frank and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Written in melodious prose by a young author studying opera at Yale, Vienna Nocturne is dramatic story of a woman's battle to find love and fame in an 18th-century world that controls and limits her at every turn.

I had quite as soon that you went without me, for after all, I must confess, that I myself think her a most confounded bore. But if you think h'er a bore too, Ferdinand, as I suppose you will, that must not prevent you trying to get into her good graces. ... I have got unbroken descents both ways, so I may like or dislike just as I fancy, you know." " I do assure you, sir," replied the young man, "if my father traced his descent from Adam, and my mother from Eve, my fanoy would still lead me to like and admire Madame de Ferris exceedingly.. I dined with her several times while I was at college, and I like her better almost than anybody I ever saw, except my dear mother." " Ah, 9a ! . . . . that's all very well: and now we 11 be off; I heard the carriage five minutes ago. But by the way, Ferdinand, you must look about and choose your own miethkutsche. No young man of any fashion can exist in Vienna, you know, without his own particular miethkutscher. We must see about that to-morrow." A few minutes'1 sharp rattling brought them to the dwelling of the Countess; and as she rarely went out, and was always ready to receive, Ferdinand was set down without any previous inquiries, and his father dashed on, after promising to call for him on his way to the opera. The young man mounted the marble staircase with a sober pace, for little did he guess the pleasure that awaited him; but the first object that met his eye, as he entered the third salon of the Countess, was the beautiful girl whose image had so often recurred to him within the last twentyfour hours. It was not without an effort that he made his first bow to Madame de Ferris, and he was so kindly received that the salutation seemed to occupy an age; but when it was over, he turned to...

Excerpt: ...of his skin would permit, and, taking rather audacious advantage of his angry parent's infirmity, said in very soft accents to his shrinking guest, " I do implore you, madam, lay not to my charge the idle ravings of my old mother.... I am bound, of course, to show her all respect, nor will so excellent a lady think the worse of me for this;.... but I am not bound to share her prejudices, or to sacrifice my judgment to hers. Let me entreat you to retire to your own apartments; I will immediately take care that a sitting-room shall be made ready for you, that you may be no more exposed to treatment so deeply lamented by me." Where is the Christian that could have expressed himself better on the occasion? Mary could almost have exclaimed, " By my hood! he is a Gentile, and no Jew." But, though she did not thus poetically express her approbation, she said, " I thank you, sir," in a tone much more approaching to civility than any she had hitherto felt herself capable of using. She no longer delayed to leave. the room; but, having passed through the door he opened for her, heard the voices both of mother and son raised high the very instant it was closed behind her. It would have been worth something in her condition to have discovered how the dialogue ran, but not even the forlorn helplessness which made every aid so needful, could enable her to be an eaves-dropper. " I cannot do it!" said she, as she hurried onward, almost blaming herself for the delicacy that rendered it impossible; and reached her melancholy room without knowing more of the wishes or the will of her Jewish gaolers than they had chosen to express in her presence.

Book excerpt: He's been her obsession throughout her young life. Yet to seventeen-year-old Marie Vetsera, he i smore than that - he is her destiny. But Crown Prince Rudolf of Austro-Hungary, heir to the throne, a man of the world, much older than Marie and disease-ravaged from his indiscriminate liasons, moves in the upper circles of society to which she, of minor aristocracy, can barely aspire. Through sheer stubbornness, however and maybe a touch of the spoiled child who has always got everything she wanted, the girl succeeds in making a fateful meeting with him happen; an encounter that leads to a passionate not-so-secret affair, one marked, one marked, on her side at least, by total adoration. But all is not right in the world. There is a darker side to Rudolf's life, in which he ultimately sees only one way out.

Book excerpt: "A rather dull girl…with no looks to speak of." Doctor Charles Trescombe's opinion of his niece's governess was far from complimentary. Cordelia knew she was plain. She also knew what good manners were, and the high-and-mighty doctor didn't have any! But there was magic in Vienna that could transform even the most unlikely people. Much to her dismay, Cordelia fell in love with him anyway. And Charles soon discovered that quiet and unassuming ways had a knack for stealing a man's heart—without him even realizing it.

On this occasion, however, there was no redress for her. Ferdinand had said, as he passed her, " Shall I look for your carriage, Madame Oswold ?" but at that very moment she had espied Count Eberhard within a few feet of her, and her attention was wholly occupied in seeking his eye, and making him understand that she wished him to come to her: so Ferdinand could only walk on, resuming his lively conversation with the Duchess, and hoping that he should find opportunities enough of proving to his future mother-in-law his dutiful inclination to behave as he ought. From the court ball many of the gentlemen proceeded directly to the Redoute, though the high tide of fashion in that motley assembly did not set in till much later. Many however, among whom our Ferdinand was one, returned home either to temper the splendour of their dress, or to invest themselves in character, or in domino, as might suit their fancy best. His first intention had been to go, as he had often done before, with no change of toilet at all, and chiefly for the amusement of testing his own perspicuity of discernment in penetrating the disguises that his masked acquaintance had assumed. The fashion of ladies repairing to the Redoute after the private balls of the carnival, though somewhat on the wane, still existed; and many of the highest rank scrupled not to join the promiscuous multitude which nightly thronged the splendid rooms allotted for this assembly. Though the majority of gentlemen were on these occasions unmasked, many of the loveliest and the noblest ladies never appeared there without such a disguise as it was often very difficult to penetrate; and the great triumph of the evening was to have successfully intrigut all your acquaintance, without having been...

Book excerpt: “Reads like a novel. A fast-paced page-turner, it has everything: sex, wit, humor, and adventures. But it is an impressively researched and important story.” —David Fromkin, author of Europe’s Last Summer Vienna, 1814 is an evocative and brilliantly researched account of the most audacious and extravagant peace conference in modern European history. With the feared Napoleon Bonaparte presumably defeated and exiled to the small island of Elba, heads of some 216 states gathered in Vienna to begin piecing together the ruins of his toppled empire. Major questions loomed: What would be done with France? How were the newly liberated territories to be divided? What type of restitution would be offered to families of the deceased? But this unprecedented gathering of kings, dignitaries, and diplomatic leaders unfurled a seemingly endless stream of personal vendettas, long-simmering feuds, and romantic entanglements that threatened to undermine the crucial work at hand, even as their hard-fought policy decisions shaped the destiny of Europe and led to the longest sustained peace the continent would ever see. Beyond the diplomatic wrangling, however, the Congress of Vienna served as a backdrop for the most spectacular Vanity Fair of its time. Highlighted by such celebrated figures as the elegant but incredibly vain Prince Metternich of Austria, the unflappable and devious Prince Talleyrand of France, and the volatile Tsar Alexander of Russia, as well as appearances by Ludwig van Beethoven and Emilia Bigottini, the sheer star power of the Vienna congress outshone nearly everything else in the public eye. An early incarnation of the cult of celebrity, the congress devolved into a series of debauched parties that continually delayed the progress of peace, until word arrived that Napoleon had escaped, abruptly halting the revelry and shrouding the continent in panic once again. Vienna, 1814 beautifully illuminates the intricate social and political intrigue of this history-defining congress–a glorified party that seemingly valued frivolity over substance but nonetheless managed to drastically reconfigure Europe’s balance of power and usher in the modern age.

Book excerpt: With Napoleon Bonaparte exiled to Elba, the elite of Europe have gathered at the glittering Congress of Vienna--princes, ambassadors, the Russian tsar--negotiating the fate of the Continent by day and flirting and waltzing by night. But on one of those candle-warmed evenings, Princess Tatiana, the most beautiful and talked about woman in Vienna, is found murdered during an ill-timed rendezvous with three of her most powerful conquests. . . Suzanne Rannoch has tried to ignore rumors that her new husband, Malcolm, is also one of Tatiana's lovers. As a protégé of France's Prince Talleyrand and an attaché for Britain's Lord Castlereagh, Malcolm sets out to investigate the murder. He needs Suzanne's unique skills and knowledge if he is to succeed. The complex dance between husband and wife in the search for the truth tests their marriage, their liberty, and their very lives. No one's secrets are safe, and the future of Europe may hang in the balance. . . "Glittering balls, deadly intrigue, sexual scandals. . .the next best thing to actually being there!" —Lauren Willig "A perfect blend of history, mystery, romance, and suspense." --Deborah Crombie
