Madonna

Whereas other books about Madonna have been based on previously published material, this biography is the result of ten years of exclusive interviews with people who are speaking publicly for the first time, including close friends, business associates and even family members. Bestselling author J. Randy Taraborrelli has also interviewed the star herself on numerous occasions and he draws on these first-hand experiences to bring Madonna to life as not merely a tabloid delight, but as a flesh-and-blood woman with human foibles and weaknesses, as well as great strengths and ambitions. This paperback edition includes 3 new chapters that discuss her recent 'Drowned World' tour, marriage and motherhood. 'A thoroughly professional job . . . makes her more, not less, fascinating.' Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph 'Bracingly prurient . . . a book you will find yourself "just dipping into" for hours at a stretch.' Evening Standard
