This story was able to both warm and break my heart as it displayed the price of ambition. It follows Mozart's sister in her attempt to be remembered for her music in a world that won’t allow it. Conveniently, there is another - and someone willing to make a deal. 
Got a little emotional as I empathised with the main character - her struggles being the eldest daughter and her conflicting emotions for her brother.
