Most Popular Books by Pattie Boyd

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the first time, rock music’s most famous muse tells her incredible story “A charming, lively and seductive book . . . The appeal of Wonderful Tonight is as self-evident as the seemingly simple but brash opening chord of ‘A Hard Day’s Night.’”—The New York Times Book Review Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, finally breaks a forty-year silence and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most legendary muse in the history of rock and roll. The woman who inspired Harrison’s song “Something” and Clapton’s anthem “Layla,” Pattie Boyd has written a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking—and totally honest.

Autorretrato de una de las musas más destacadas de los revolucionarios años sesenta. Modelo y casada sucesivamente con George Harrison y Eric Clapton, pese a todo Pattie Boyd no siempre llevó una vida de glamour: la falta de autoestima y las drogas fueron el contrapunto dramático de unos años inolvidables.

An extraordinary visual memoir from Pattie Boyd—model, photographer, and muse to rock ‘n roll royalty. The former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, Pattie Boyd is perhaps the most famous muse of all time, inspiring Harrison''s "Something" and Eric Clapton''s "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight." Swept up into the height of Beatlemania as a young model, Boyd captured endless photographs of her years with the band, and later with Clapton. In Pattie Boyd: My Life Through A Lens, Boyd offers candid and intimate photographs of rock royalty and the elite social circles of the 60s and 70s, and also shares the drawings, paintings, and mementos collected from a life shared with pop-culture icons. Alongside it all are Boyd''s own stirring reflections, giving a look into the golden age of rock ''n roll that only a woman at the center of it all could provide.

What is it like to grow up in Kenya in the 1950s with lions and giraffe roaming in the garden? To be a child in a household where no one spoke at mealtimes, to be left alone and bewildered at boarding school at the age of eight, and to find your father had been replaced by a new one when you came home one holiday? These are just some of the memories from Pattie Boyd''s extraordinary childhood. She went on to become an icon of the Sixties: a top model, a Beatle wife, an acclaimed photographer, Eric Clapton''s wife and the inspiration for some of the most beautiful love songs ever written -- including the timeless Layla and Wonderful tonight.
