I am reading Rita Chabonnier's book Mozart's Sister about Mozart's oldest sister, Maria Anna. It's really good so far. I looked her up. She was a gifted musician as well, but could not pursue her talents. Though her Father touted her as a musical prodigy when she was young, he saw such talents as unseemly for a girl becoming a woman. What books have you enjoyed that were about the lesser known family members of famous people? |

Galielo's Daughter was really good. |

Rasputin's Daughter gave a different perspective. |

I just ran across one about Oscar Wilde's niece Dolly that looked pretty interesting, but I'm still pondering whether I want it or not. She apparently truly put the W in Wilde! |

Interesting stuff to look up :) I think I find the less than famous more interesting reads than the really famous. |
