I love that this was as well-researched as it could possibly have been, given the subject matter. I think I just wish there were more to the story. The last quarter of the book dissolves into a litany of Edith's illnesses, addictions, and incessant touring and convalescence, while the best and most interesting parts are everything from her harrowing childhood through her Resistance work in defiance of the Nazis. I wish there had been more of the Resistance work especially. Marked this book as 'to read' after seeing the review in the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/8450663/No-Regrets-The-Life... Was fascinated by her half sister, Simone Bertaut's book [b:Piaf|1362868|Piaf|Simone Berteaut|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183001000s/1362868.jpg|1352667] and am curious to see what this one says as it seems to imply that Simone wasn't alltogether truthful. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I enjoyed this book. I knew some of her life story, but I had no idea how passionate she was about singing and love. Though she didn't find any long lasting happiness with any man, her fans were always there for her.
I would recommend this book to anyone who's a fan of this extraordinary woman and anyone else who wants to know why Edith Piaf is considered one of the best singers of the 2oth century and understand why she is still fondly remembered in both her home country, France, and the rest of the world. ( )
