I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. Being a fan of The Beatles, I knew about Yoko. But, I was intrigued and interested to read her story as told by David Sheff, who is also a close friend of hers. Sheff is the one who got to interview them in 1980.
This book really dived into her beginnings, her performance art, her music, and the love of John Lennon and their son Sean Ono Lennon. How she came up with the ideas for her art was heavily discussed.
I had no clue she came from a wealthy family in Japan and her parents never quite respected what she did in her extraordinary life.
Her previous marriages before John Lennon and her daughter, Kyoko, with one of them was also discussed.
After John died, she persevered through threats and depression and got back in the game of art and music where she has thrived. Oh, she also was overseeing The Beatles as John’s heir, but recently, she has given that up to their son, Sean.
Overall, it was a quick read and I enjoyed reading about her life.
