When cellist Jacqueline du Pre died in 1987 at the age of 42 the media had long since enfolded her in a cocoon of myth: over the original image of the one-time 'golden girl' with the fairytale career and storybook romance had been superimposed that of the courageous tragic heroine who never complained, who accepted her fate so gracefully that some friends, taking her most frequent expression at face value, called her Smiley - a nickname that horrified her analyst. Jacqueline du Pre, her courage notwithstanding, was neither golden girl nor saint: away from her cello, she was completely human. As a child, she had been isolated by her phenomenal talent. As an adult, she was confined to the rarefied, insular concert world. During the last fifteen years of her life, she lived in the inexorably shrinking world of the invalid. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. Books.

Carol Easton, who knew Jacqueline du Pré well, draws on this friendship to create a moving and insightful portrait of a singularly complex person. Jacqueline du Pré (the subject of the recent film Hilary and Jackie) was the music world's "golden girl," with what appeared to many to be a fairytale career and storybook marriage to Daniel Barenboim. But away from her cello, du Pré was achingly human. As a child, she was isolated by her phenomenal talent. As an adult, she was confined to the rarefied, insular concert world. And during the last fifteen years of her life, she lived in the inexorably shrinking world of the invalid, as multiple sclerosis took its toll. The Baltimore Sun said, Carol Easton tells this extraordinary story "with feeling befitting du Pré's own.", Paperback, Label: Coronet / Hodder, Coronet / Hodder, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1991, Studio: Coronet / Hodder, Verkaufsrang: 13561580.
