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