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.

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.
