A new biography of Alma Mahler (1879-1964), reveals a woman determined to wield power in a world that denied her agency. History has long vilified Mahler. Critics accused her of distracting Gustav Mahler from his work, and her passionate love affairs shocked her peers. Haste recounts the untold and far more sympathetic story of this ambitious and talented woman.
