Book Jessica Duchen

Jessica Duchen’s four novels to date, published by Hodder, have gathered a loyal fan-base and wide critical acclaim. Her first novel, Rites of Spring, was published in 2006, followed by Alicia’s Gift, Hungarian Dances and Songs of Triumphant Love, the latter termed “not just a tale of universal human emotion, but a symphony to the off-beat melodies of modern life” by the Lancashire Evening Post.

Jessica Duchen is also the biographer of the composers Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Gabriel Fauré (both published by Phaidon) and maintains a popular blog, JDCMB, often ranked among the world’s top classical music blogs.

Jessica’s plays, A Walk through the End of Time, and Sins of the Fathers, and numerous ‘words & music’ programmes for musicians and actors, have been widely performed in the UK, with overseas performances including France, Australia and the US. Jessica Duchen frequently narrates concert versions of her novels Alicia’s Gift and Hungarian Dances.
