Memories, Dreams and Reflections

Marianne Faithfull, kaleidoscopic beauty and wild child of the 1960s, continues the storu begun in Faithfull in this sparkling memoir of her often turbulent and always riotous life. Faithfull has evolved effortlessly from the role of fresh-faced, girlish innocent to smoky-voiced vamp, and here she reveals with lvely wit and candour the experiences that turned her into the Marianne of today. From hanging with the Beat poets to gigging, groupies and junk; decadence, rehab and cancer, and of course that fur rug, nothing is too personal to disclose. The stage Marianne - 'fabulous best' - and the real Marianne both glimmer within these pages, and from a tendency towards self-destruction emerges a stronger spirit. The ultimate bohemian idol, this is Marianne in her own words.
