Piaf

More about the book

Throughout her explosive and tempestuous career, Edith Piaf cast a spell over all who came in contact with her. The little sparrow, as she was called, stood only four foot 10 and always performed in simple black. After her, popular singing would never be the same. This classic biography documents her meteoric rise from street urchin to a living legend whose power and influence were so great that she marked an entire generation of actors and singers, including Yves Montand and Charles Aznavour.
