Book Reviews of the Memories, Dreams and Reflections
Customer Review: Remarkable...and sometimes scary lives and times realized in a 320 page chronicle from a gifted musician, actor, and writer.
Summary: 5 Stars
Marianne Faithfull has put together passages of her life and times entwined with a host of well known and not so well known characters that make for riveting stories with a perceptive insight.
This book gives much more rounded details of the life that has been Faithfull's as compared to previous offerings. The Rolling Stones and 60's connections are here of course (the Beats and more contemporary fare as well), but there's so much more. Family, friends, Mariannne's indepth knowledge of history, literature, and music all figure in here and ultimately provide an understanding of why Marianne is who she is and where she's been. Also, why she is such a compelling musician and actor.
Marianne has lived life with a passion that can sometimes be scary, but is ultimately textured and is as grand as the lady's rich heritage.
The adoring fan base she has garnered over the years is well deserved and all of those fans will surely love this book. Others will too. Marianne is a hoot -- with beauty, intelligence and class.
I wonder if Britain and the British press realize what a treasure this lady is. I hope she's acting, singing, and writing for the next "20 years" she mentions toward this book's conclusion. Her work will be one of France's (or Ireland's) best exports.
