I finished A Passionate Spirit by Cate Haste which was about the life of Alma Mahler. It is the story of an extraordinary woman in turbulent times. I would say it was fairly niche, it is created extensively from her own words and perceptions as the wife of Mahler in a world of creatives. I found it absorbing and alarming. A portrait of the agonies and ecstasies of a woman always in company yet desperately alone.
