    "description": "<p>A remarkable feminist history and biography that features fragments from the five-decade career of an iconic artist.</p>\n<p>First as a doe-eyed ing&eacute;nue with 'As Tears Go By', then as a gravel-voiced phoenix rising from the ashes of the 1960s with a landmark punk album, <em>Broken English</em>, and finally as a genre-less icon, Marianne Faithfull carved her name into the history of rock 'n' roll to chart a career spanning five decades and multiple detours.<br /><br />Why, then, was Faithfull absent from the male-dominated history of the British Invasion?<br /><br />Putting memoir on equal footing with biographical accounts, historian Tanya Pearson writes about Faithfull as an avid fan, recovered addict and queer musician at a crossroads. Whether exploring Faithfull's rise to celebrity, her drug addiction and fall from grace as a spurned 'muse' or her reinvention as a sober, soulful chanteuse subverting all expectations for an ageing woman in music, Pearson reaffirms the deep connection between creator and listener in this remarkable feminist history of the iconic artist</p>",
