Description
The True Story of Two Sisters Who Shared a Passion and a Madness Jacqueline du Pré's extraordinary gift was evident from the moment she first held a cello at five. Her professional debut at sixteen catapulted her to international acclaim, but just ten years later, multiple sclerosis took away the feeling in her hands, ending her career virtually overnight. In this intimate biography, Hilary and Piers du Pré share their sister's life with astonishing personal detail, revealing the private world behind the public face. They recount Jackie's love of music, her marriage to Daniel Barenboim, her struggles with the disease, and its profound impact on their family.
