'I've been told that no one sings the word "hunger" like l do. Or the word "love"'
Billie Holiday grew up scrubbing floors and running errands in a brothel before she began singing in Harlem speakeasies as a young teenager - and became one of the greatest jazz icons of all time. Wisecracking, gutsy and unsparing this is her story - her rise to stardom, her struggles with addiction and racism, her adventures in love - told in her own words, without self-pity, and with huge emotional power.
'Captures the tart voice and unflinching eye of one of the most affecting and mythicised artists of the last century ... it gets at jazz's great core' San Francisco Chronicle
