"HUNGARIAN DANCES"

Jessica reads extracts from her acclaimed novel “Hungarian Dances”, an international bestseller that follows the turbulent story of a gypsy who becomes a famous classical violinist, but at a terrible personal price. The tale is richly illustrated with music for violin and piano that has its roots in the Gypsy-Folk style.
