Description
The honest and revealing story of John Lennon's childhood by his sister Julia.
'A tragic story . . . also a tenderly evoked memoir of a Liverpool childhood'
'Honest and poignant, this enjoyable read offers fans a new perspective on their idol'
'A moving account of the Beatle's childhood by his half-sister . . . fascinating'
'Philip Larkin's much-quoted lines about sex being invented in 1963 "between the end of the Chatterley ban/ And the Beatles first LP" stand corrected here. Perhaps life was dull in Hull and Coventry, but on this account there was plenty of passion in Liverpool'
'A poignant powerful tale that throws new light on the Lennon legend'
'An unusual treat'
'His sister's important new account chronicles the pivotal childhood years that provided the source of both Lennon's rich creativity and personal vulnerability'
