John When she was eighteen years old, a girl named Cynthia Powell met a boy named John Lennon and they fell in love. Their ten-year relationship coincided with the start of the Beatles phenomenon--from Liverpool's dockside clubs to the dizzying worldwide fame that followed. Here, Cynthia recalls those times with the loving honesty of an insider, offering new insights into the life of John Lennon and the early days of the Beatles. She tells of the breakdown of their marriage and the beginning of his relationship with Yoko Ono in detail, and documents the difficulties that estrangement from John--and his subsequent death--brought for herself and their son, Julian.--From publisher description. |
