In 1987, 20-year-old Nicki Chapman wasn't meant to be walking through the seedy but sublime Soho streets towards MCA records; she was supposed to be living it up in the much sunnier climes of Australia. But fate, as it turned out, had much louder plans for her...Everyone knows that in the 90s and 00s there were king-makers in pop music, namely Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell. But this is the story of the queen - who wasn't so much a marionette pulling strings as a down-to-earth, no-nonsense team player who made it in the music industry when it was very much a man's world.

Anerkennung, Freiheit, Karriere: Dafür kämpfte Clara Schumann ihr Leben lang – und stand vor den gleichen Herausforderungen wie Frauen im 21. Jahrhundert. Sie haderte mit ihrer Rolle als Mutter von sieben Kindern und mit der nahezu unmöglichen Aufgabe, Beruf und Familie zu vereinbaren. Gestützt auf bisher unbeachtete Quellen, erzählt Bestsellerautorin Christine Eichel das Leben der gefeierten Pianistin und Komponistin radikal neu und räumt dabei mit einigen Klischees auf. Clara Schumann war keine sanfte Muse im Schatten ihres genialischen Mannes Robert.
