-Reader Views Book Review
Reader Views praises The Other Mozart: ‘The Magic Flute’ – An Opera to Die For! by Martin Jarvis for its captivating blend of history, mystery, and music.
The novel shines a light on Maria Anna “Nannerl” Mozart, the talented yet forgotten sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Through rich storytelling and clever twists, Jarvis explores the overlooked genius behind the Mozart legacy, offering readers a fresh and thought-provoking take on one of history’s greatest musical families.
Another new element Jarvis explores is Mozart’s initiation into the Freemasons and possibly two other secret societies, which might have been a factor in his death. Fans of artistic historical fiction similar to Susan Vreeland or Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code will enjoy this work that explores Mozart’s genius while intermingling possible malevolent secret societies.
