1996. First edition, first printing. A very good copy with some creasing to the wraps and age tanning to the edges of the text block.
Description
This is the story of David Helfgott, whose life inspired the film Shine, starring Sir John Geilgud, Lynn redgrave, Geoffrey Rush and Noah Taylor. Acclaimed pianist, Helfgott emerged from a tortured family background and studied in England before descending into a personal hell of mental illness. His recovery and re-emergence from that tragic time is an account of courage.
