Caracteristici
Alma Mahler has been overlooked and misrepresented until now, her own autobiography marred by inaccuracies and elisions. This is the first full and serious biography of her, drawing extensively on unpublished diaries covering four decades when she wrote entries almost daily.

Recenzii
Fascinating ... Haste paints a portrait of a woman who was born to triumph, not surrender
Cate Haste's seductively accessible biography offers a sympathetic interpretation of Alma's life. Written in elegant, lucid prose, her book is a treasure trove of European cultural riches and scandalous intrigue . [Alma] emerges as a tough, lively, cultured and wilful woman . Compelling
Lively, well illustrated and enjoyably juicy
A welcome and engaging narrative of a life that, surely, has not yet been fully explored
[An] absorbing biography ... Through reference to diaries, letters and interviews with Mahler's granddaughter, Haste draws a portrait of a complex, highly accomplished woman . Mahler is depicted as a woman who not only facilitated the creative pursuits of her husbands, but was an intellectual force in her own right
