'
A masterpiece, as fresh and shocking as if it were written yesterday'
Craig Brown "
I've been told that no one Sings the word 'hunger' like I do.
Billie Holiday is a wise and aphoristic guide to the story of her unforgettable life..
Her memoir tells the story of her life spent in jazz, smoky Harlem clubs and packed-out concert halls, her love affairs, her wildly creative friends, her struggles with addiction and her adventures in love.
But Billie Holiday is no victim.
Born to a single mother in 1915 Baltimore, Billie Holiday had her first run-in with the law at aged 13.
Or the word 'love'."
Lady Sings the Blues is the inimitable autobiography of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century. '
A masterpiece, as fresh and shocking as if it were written yesterday'
