Janet Nichols Lynch erschafft fesselnde Erzählungen, die sich mit der Komplexität des Erwachsenwerdens und den soziopolitischen Landschaften ihrer gewählten Epochen auseinandersetzen. Ihre Romane, die oft vor dem Hintergrund bedeutender historischer Momente wie der McCarthy-Ära oder der späten 1960er Jahre angesiedelt sind, zeigen junge Protagonisten, die sich mit intensiven persönlichen und öffentlichen Konflikten auseinandersetzen. Lynch fängt gekonnt die Atmosphäre und die psychologische Tiefe ihrer Charaktere ein, sei es, wenn sie mit politischem Umbruch in Berkeley ringen oder den Fängen eines zerstörerischen Kults entkommen. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch eine ausgeprägte erzählerische Stimme aus, die die Leser in spannende Geschichten voller emotionaler Resonanz und dramatischer Spannung zieht.

One spring day in 1824, four-year-old Clara Wieck sat in the nursery with her three younger brothers, Alwin, Gustav, and baby Victor. Alwin and Gustav babbled in baby-talk, Victor wailed, but Clara was perfectly silent. Clara was always quiet-mute. She had not yet spoken a word. Nearly five years old and not a single word out of her! The child must be simple. Maybe she was deaf. How tragic for Music Master Wieck to have such a daughter! But Clara was not deaf. The piano music of her father's students rang out. Clara heard the glorious strains of music wafting through the house all day long. From the moment four-year-old Clara Wieck Schumann heard music coming from her father's piano store, she wanted to play the piano. She became a child prodigy and made her debut at nine and went on to have the longest concert career of any woman in the nineteenth century. At the age of eighteen, she was named Royal and Imperial Virtuosa-the highest musical honor in Austria. Clara wanted to do more than entertain. She wanted the audience to feel love, sorrow, joy, and beauty. She achieved this with a new style of playing the piano. She managed to have a sixty-year concert career, marry Robert Schumann and oversee his estate, plus raise their eight children. As a celebrated composer, she wrote a piano concerto, chamber music, songs, pieces for piano, and her most well-known work, the Piano Trio in G Minor .
