'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. Or the word 'love'."Lady Sings the Blues is the inimitable
autobiography of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century.
Born to a single mother in 1915 Baltimore, Billie Holiday had her first
run-in with the law at aged 13.
But Billie Holiday is no
victim. 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. Billie Holiday is a wise and aphoristic guide to the story of her
unforgettable life.
