Biography & Memoir

A Guardian, Sunday Times, Observer, Telegraph and Financial Times Book of the Year

The musician Peggy Seeger has lived a life full of art and passion, family and separation, tragedy, celebration and the unexpected - and irresistible - force of love. It would by any standards be an extraordinary story, but what elevates her account is the beauty of the writing in her fascinating memoir: it is clear-eyed and playful, luminous and melodic, fearless, funny and always truthful, from the first word to the last.
