Riassunto

Pattie Boyd was the Queen of the sixties and beyond! a drop-dead gorgeous model, photographer, and the inspiration for the timeless love songs 'Something', 'Layla' and 'Wonderful Tonight'. Her story is one of drama, struggle and, ultimately, affirmation, but her struggles (against addiction, tragedy, infertility) were lived with two of the twentieth-century's greatest musical icons: her husbands George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Now, after 40 years, she tells her extraordinary story. From growing up in Kenya in a privileged but broken home, becoming a sixties supermodel, working with Bailey and Ozzie Clarke, and meeting the Beatles, to marriage with George and then Eric, to the accidents and brushes with tragedy -- her own and Eric's -- this is a mesmerising human story, played out among some of the most iconic and charismatic figures of the late twentieth century.

Recensione:

'This riveting autobiography... offers an intimate portrait of the woman who inspired both Harrison's Something and Clapton's Layla... The words sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll have never been more apt as she describes a life lived with passion and without restraint. Fascinating... A rare insight into a crazy world' (Candis)

'Absolutely gripping and gives more insight into the weirdness of rock-star life than anything I have ever read.' (Lynn Barber, Telegraph)

'The most compelling rock autobiography ever' (Mail on Sunday)
