The #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK

'A must-read memoir that you'll want to share with all the women in your life' MICHELLE OBAMA

'A work of art' OPRAH

To understand the icons Beyonce, Solange and Kelly, you have to understand where they came from... A deeply personal and revelatory memoir by Ms Tina Knowles - as you've never seen her before.

Tina Knowles, the mother of icons Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles and bonus daughter Kelly Rowland, is known the world over as a Matriarch with a capital M: the woman who raised and inspired some of the great artists of our time. But this story is about so much more than that.

For the first time ever, Tina Knowles shares her remarkable story in Matriarch. A life of grief and tragedy, love and heartbreak, the nurturing of her superstar daughters - and the perseverance and audacity it takes for a girl from Galveston, Texas to change the world.

This intimate and revealing memoir is a multigenerational family saga and a celebration of the wisdom that women, mothers and daughters pass on to each other across generations.

A glorious chronicle of a life like none other and a testament to the world-changing power of Black motherhood.

'The mother of all memoirs . . . An epic in the best sense' HARPER'S BAZAAR

Industry Reviews

A must-read memoir that you'll want to share with all the women in your life

A work of art

In Matriarch, her touching, surprisingly beautiful memoir, Knowles weaves together a rich tapestry of a life defined by providing love... Matriarch encapsulates the hypocrisies of the American Dream while eventually turning into an ode to its possibilities - Telegraph

Knowles has a keen eye for both the overall shape of a tale and the tiny sensory details that will connect readers to it . . . As a mother, I closed this book in awe of Knowles' hard grafting, hard loving, open minded and humbly accountable parenting ethos. No wonder her girls grew up to feel they could run the world - Independent
