This review is from: Piaf, emportée par la foule (Hardcover)

"Piaf, emportée par la foule"

This a simply spectacular book which literally covers Edith Piaf's life and career from beginning to end. It is filled with an enormous amount of articles and reviews written about her throughout her career, and on each page, there is an itinerary of what she did in each day of each year. There are the most magnificent photographs, all in black and white, and many of her friends such as Jean Cocteau and Marlene Dietrich make their own appearances either in letters and writings which they gave to Piaf, or in photographs with her.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is one of my favorite books about Piaf, and it has been published with great love by a group of people who knew Piaf, and who wanted to share their memories of her. Her legend lives on, admirably recorded in this book.
