'Fascinating'The Sunday Times

'Engaging . . . offers a fascinating glimpse into an altogether more innocent age'Independent

'Vivid and engaging . . . refreshingly free of bitterness'Mail on Sunday

* * *

Cynthia and John Lennon's relationship spanned ten crucial years of the Beatles phenomenon. But as well as new insight into the Beatles years, Cynthia has a compelling personal story of marriage, motherhood and the man who was to become the most idolised and admired of all the Beatles.

Cynthia is candid about the cruel and the loving sides of John. She tells of the end of their marriage and the beginning of his relationship with Yoko Ono in more detail than ever before, and reveals the many difficulties estrangement from John - and then his death - brought for herself and Julian. Cynthia is a remarkable survivor and this is her extraordinary story and unique insight into a man loved and idolised all over the world.

Soon to be the subject of This Girl, a play debuting in Liverpool later this year, this is the original true story of Cynthia Lennon.
