Constanze Mozart, wife of the great composer, struggles mightily in the wake of his too-early death in 1791 — to feed her children, to survive her own shattering grief, and to secure her husband’s astonishing musical legacy by completing his great unfinished masterwork, the Requiem in D Minor. With the odds and the whole of patriarchy working against her, the perennially-underestimated Constanze Mozart digs deep to find a way to not only prevail but to triumph—in the end, she’s the last woman standing, smarter and braver than everyone else in her story.
