3.0 out of 5 starsLearned a lot...
By Urs on October 16, 2004
Format: Hardcover
I learned a lot about Bob and Rita Marley in this book, but I felt like she was just saying words. I felt like the story was told with no real sense of how she felt about what was going on. For instance, on page 136 she tells the story of when Bob found Neville Garrick in her room and Bob lifted her up in the air and then dropped her. All she has to say about this are things like "neville was so frightened," and "poor neville." But you think, she just got dropped from the air by her husband who went back to his room with his girlfriend. How does that make her really feel. This is just one example I keep remembering, but I had the same feeling about situations she presented earlier in the book. I do not think I got a real understanding of how she felt about everthing that happened. She was just telling me a story, and that was not quite fulfilling enough for me. Still, there is lot's of information about Bob and Rita in this book and I do recommend it to people wanting to learn more about the man, his music, and more importantly in this book, his wife.

5.0 out of 5 starsCourage and Hope
By Shelia M Goss on April 22, 2004
Format: Hardcover
NO WOMAN, NO CRY: MY LIFE WITH BOB MARLEY by Rita Marley with Hettie Jones is an intriguing and engaging account of the life of Reggae singer, Rita Marley.
It's a story of a woman who in spite of her circumstances was able to overcome many obstacles.
Rita came from humble beginnings. Growing up in Trench Town, a rough part of Kingston, Jamaica, didn't offer her many choices. When she got pregnant at an early age, she was able to continue her education due to the help of her Aunty.
Rita had a natural talent for singing and attempted a singing career. It was during her early years that she met Bob Marley. They started off as friends, but eventually their love for music drew them together and before long they were married.
Subsequently, Rita put her music career on hold to raise her and Bob's children. Meanwhile, Bob's career continued to flourish. No matter what happened between them, Rita remained committed to Bob. She was the glue that kept her family together.
With Bob's success came much turmoil with their relationship-namely Bob's infidelities and children outside of his marriage. Strange as it seems, Rita and Bob remained married.
Rita re-entered the music business as a member of Bob's backup group, The Wailers, when the original members quit. Her and Bob were together once again as a musical team and traveled the world until he became ill. When Bob was diagnosed with cancer, it was Rita who stood by his side and was his support system. She truly loved him to the very end.
Rita Marley's generous spirit is evident throughout the book. The book is about choices and the inner drive to survive in spite of what life dishes out. Most importantly, Rita teaches us to have faith and never lose hope.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Woman Beside the Man
By Loose Leaves Book Review on October 27, 2004
Format: Hardcover
Aptly titled No Woman No Cry, this collection of memories from Rita Marley, wife of international reggae superstar Bob Marley, is a heartfelt account of her life with Bob. When she should have been crying, and perhaps filing for divorce, Rita took the lyrics to heart: "No woman no cry/ No woman no cry/Little darlin' don't shed no tears..." and she didn't.

With this biography, Rita Marley takes readers on an extraordinary journey from humble beginnings in Trench Town, Jamaica to worldwide stardom. She talks about how she went from Alfarita Constantia Anderson, an ambitious little girl with dreams of becoming the next Diana Ross, to Rita Marley, a singer, mother and wife of a reggae music icon.

Growing up in a third world ghetto full of killers, thieves and prostitutes is no small feat. Rita shares some of her innermost thoughts, including how she was essentially abandoned by her mother and raised by her father, who later immigrated to England. Her mother figure was her beloved Aunty who was there for her through thick and thin. Rita also reveals how she had to deal with black-on-black discrimination because of her dark complexion.

With a musical background (her father played the tenor sax, her aunt sang in the choir and her uncle was a well-known baritone), Rita was destined to sing. At the age of ten she won her first radio competition. She and her cousin Dream would later put on shows for the community.

But at age eighteen, Rita finds herself unwed and pregnant, a cardinal sin in Aunty's house, but she manages. A year later she meets Robert "Robbie" Nesta Marley of the Wailers, a shy guitarist with whom she falls in love and marries.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsTalking About a STRONG WOMAN................
By StylishCurvyGirl on May 2, 2005
Format: Hardcover
This book takes us on a journey from Rita's humble begginings in Trench Town, a ghetto in Jamaica, to the things that happens when your husband turns into a star. Rita was a woman with patience, virtue, and was very true to her Rasta religion. Some of the things she dealt with made me feel as if she should have left Bob, but I know that love is blind and you can't walk in someone else's shoes. Bob had many flings and girlfriends, all of which she knew about and some she even met!!! What made me envy her was that she never forgot about the children and she even helped raise some of the outside children. She never crumbled in front of the children or showed them her sadness. Bob and Rita had a marriage that truly was for the better or worse, and now she is a living testiment to all people in relationships.
