About the book:
From her birth to her death her life story was a rags-to-riches tale like no other. A street singer discovered by the nightclub owner who gave her the stage name Piaf ('sparrow') she rose to become a national heroine. Friends with Charlie Chaplin, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jean Cocteau, Maurice Chevalier and Marlene Dietrich, she was also at various times chief suspect for the murder of her mentor, an alcoholic, and a drug addict. But she always seemed to embody - and still does - something of the spirit of Paris. Following her death in 1963, 40,000 people attended her funeral, and many more around the world remain devotees of her music.
