The story of the Schumanns and Brahms is told close to the established historical record at first, complete with references to Ansay's research sources. This is done just fine, and when Ansay later extends the story with her imaginings of scenes that occurred between them, the story really works quite well.
Unfortunately Ansay chose to combine that story with the story of a modern day novelist and professor of literature who is researching a historical novel about the Schumanns and Brahms while having her own relationship of uncertain intentions with a German man. This apparent indulging of authorial ego weakens the book, inserting a pale shadow of the Clara/Johannes relationship that does not have the space to be fleshed out satisfactorily.
