Editorial Review

Out of Tune : David Helfgott and the Myth of Shine
- Book Review, by Tom Gross, Margaret Helfgott

The Wall Street Journal, Daniel Mark Epstein
It is hard not to sympathize with the woman who wishes to clear her father's name. If what she says is true--and she does speak with authority--Mr. Hicks never should have billed Shine as a true story. Having said that, enough had been said. This is no occasion for a book-length memoir.
