'Brutally honest ... this memoir is a sizzler.'
*Daily Telegraph*
'Searingly honest account of an extraordinary life ... powerful
stuff.'
*Radio Times*
'A jaw-dropping memoir. Arnold's resilience sparkles throughout.
This isn't just surviving, it's flourishing.'
*Mojo*
'An adroit blend of pathos and self-deprecating honesty. Its
occasionally shocking and even heart-wrenchingly tragic in places,
but ultimately the book's tone is a triumphant one. 4/5'
*Record Collector*
'An extraordinary book by an extraordinary artist.'
*Lauren Laverne*
'Very powerful.'
*Emma Barnett, Woman's Hour*
'Explosive.'
*Daily Mail*
'Searingly honest.'
*Daily Express*
'Nobody could accuse Arnold of pulling her punches ... but it
doesn't read like score-settling either. Absorbing.'
*Irish Independent*
'Not long after arriving in England, I met P.P. Arnold. On
reflection, she was just like me. Determined, naïve, in a world we
did not understand. We spent a lot of hours at IBC Studios in
Portland Place recording new songs that still, today, bring back
such amazing memories. I will never forget those times. Pat was on
the ascent until the terrible moment of her daughter's passing.
This brought Pat to her knees. It was the saddest time. What I
think I understand now is what real loss means and Pat understood
that long before I did. I relish those times we spent together.
Those are some of the great memories.'
*Barry Gibb*
