HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER ? Bono??artist, activist, and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2??has written a memoir: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life he??s lived, the challenges he??s faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. ? A VOGUE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR ??Surrender soars whenever the spotlight comes on.

Writing with candor, self-reflection, and humor, Bono opens the aperture on his life??and the family, friends, and faith that have sustained, challenged, and shaped him.
