Jacqueline du Pré: A Biography
Jacqueline du Pré (1945-1987) was one of the world’s great cellists. At age 11, she won the most prestigious cello award in Britain and was an established artist at twenty. At twenty-one, she married young conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim. Six years later, her career was over. She had developed multiple sclerosis, and died slowly over the next fifteen years. During those years she continued to believe that she would recover, taught the cello and went out in her wheelchair.

Jacqueline Du Pré
Jacqueline du Pre's talent fascinates because it reminds us that we are not all created equal. She was beauty and genius, as well as tragedy, personified. At twenty-seven, and at the pinnacle of a brilliant career, the unthinkable occurred: she was felled by multiple sclerosis.Elizabeth Wilson traces du Pre's life from the earliest stages of her career to her marriage to pianist and composer Daniel Barenboim to her premature death. Now, du Pre not only lives on in her extraordinary recordings, but also in this authoritative account of her life.

Carol Easton, who knew Jacqueline du Pre well, draws on this friendship to create a moving and insightful portrait of a singularly complex person. Jacqueline du Pre (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.

The Baltimore Sun said, Carol Easton tells this extraordinary story "with feeling befitting du Pre's own".
