Amy, mia figlia

A book where the blurb says that Mitch Winehouse, father of Amy and writer of this book is "bringing together the personal, the private and the public" to tell his daughter's story. A moving book, a sad book and a book where the moment Amy succumbs to alcohol and drug abuse it just becomes one ongoi Leggi tutto

I had a lot of preconceptions before buying this book; none of them were true. I thought Mitch Winehouse must have been a neglectful parent, ignorant of his daughter's addiction. I thought Amy Winehouse went on a downward spiral with little if any progress toward recovery. After reading the length t Leggi tutto

4 Stars for Amy, My Daughter (audiobook) by Mitch Winehouse read by Rupert Farley and the author. I’ve had to wait a long time before I was ready to hear this story. I actually checked out this book earlier in the year and returned it because I wasn’t ready yet. Her story is so much harder to hear w Leggi tutto

I read this in a matter of hours because it is written in a very readable style and, being a huge fan of Amy, I was more than familiar with the narrative.

The book details the memorable moments from Amy's childhood, her constant changes of schools, her ri Leggi tutto

Dear god, I wouldn't have been able to get through this book if I weren't so obsessed with Amy Winehouse right now. Her dad is an atrocious writer, he's very unperceptive, and I have a feeling he's a bit of a fame-whore. Not a good book, but the only one that's out right now, unfortunately.
