Description

"Sympathetic ... captivating ... highly effective."--Graham Robb, New York Review of Books "Concise and gracefully written. ... Burke surveys all [Piaf's] mayhem with thoughtfulness and respect."--James Gavin, New York Times Book Review The iconic French singer comes to life in this enthralling, definitive biography, which captures Edith Piaf's immense charisma along with the time and place that gave rise to her unprecedented international career. Raised by turns in a brothel, a circus caravan, and a working-class Parisian neighborhood, Piaf began singing on the city's street.
