Behind the Rainbow
In Behind the Rainbow Johan Bakker re-evaluates Eva Cassidy’s brief performing career and the game that only came after her death at the age of 33. The author has interviewed Eva’s friends, colleagues and family in Washington D.C. and Maryland, tracing her short life, her idealism and her disillusionment with the business side of her trade. Through it all her shimmering spirit shines making this biography both a searching analysis and a warm commemoration of a uniquely talented young woman.
