The Extraordinary Story of a Man, a Legend and a Marriage
When she was eighteen years old, a girl named Cynthia Powell met a boy named John Lennon and they fell in love. Their ten-year relationship coincided with the start of the Beatles phenomenon—from Liverpool’s dockside clubs to the dizzying worldwide fame that followed. And Cynthia Lennon, John’s first wife, was an integral part of the swirl of events that are now an indelible part of the history of rock and roll.
In John, Cynthia recalls those times with the loving honesty of an insider, offering new and fascinating insights into the life of John Lennon and the early days of the Beatles. And with the perspective only years can provide she also tells the compelling story of her marriage to a man who was to become a music legend, a cultural hero and a defining figure of the twentieth century.
Cynthia has seldom talked in any detail about her marriage and the painful events that followed John’s tragic assassination in 1980. Now she candidly reveals the good and the bad, the loving and the cruel sides of John. She tells of the breakdown of their marriage and the beginning of his relationship with Yoko Ono in more detail than has ever been disclosed before and documents the difficulties estrangement from John—and his subsequent death—brought for herself and their son, Julian.
In John, Cynthia Lennon has created a vivid portrait of the 1960s, the Beatles and the man she never stopped loving.
The time has come when I feel ready to tell the truth about John and me, our years together and the years since his death. There is so much that I have never said, so many incidents I have never spoken of and so many feelings I have never expressed: great love on one hand; pain, torment and humiliation on the other. Only I know what really happened between us, why we stayed together, why we parted and the price I have paid for being John’s wife.
I want to tell the real story of the real John—the infuriating, lovable, sometimes cruel, funny, talented and needy man who made such an impact on the world. —From the Introduction

At times, the "plot" sounds too dramatic to be real. Haven't read many biographies so perhaps the unpolished writing style is to be expected?

语言不华丽却很动人,就像Cynthia自己,她是个普通的女人,幸运和不幸的是,她爱的人是列侬。最喜欢beatlemania之前的青春时光,那么放肆坦荡。看完这本书真得好讨厌小野洋子,极度缺乏安全感的control-freak。。不过如果她正常的话可能也成不了艺术家

看到停不下来,果然我的八卦之魂很强大…虽然知道大致情节但是看到John和yxxx明目张胆地出轨还装作无事发生地样子,气到看不下去,残忍的一对男女。全书最后一句话升华了

看得出cynthia lennon是个中规中矩,保守持家的女人,她的描述给我留下的印象大多关于john lennon黑暗的一面,他很多肆意伤害别人、不负责任的行为在我看来是可以理解,但难以容忍的。

很难对这种传记文学做出评价,能来读的当然抱着对侬的好奇,但评价的观点也往往局限于侬是个什么样的人… Cyn作为至亲至爱对侬体知的痛觉似乎可以通过文字再次传达到我身,读过后很容易萦绕在脑海的一段:侬寄信给Cyn,说很多个“Love You”,最后落回“Please wait for me”,Cyn说“They were always so full of love, but his pain was... 很难对这种传记文学做出评价,能来读的当然抱着对侬的好奇,但评价的观点也往往局限于侬是个什么样的人… Cyn作为至亲至爱对侬体知的痛觉似乎可以通过文字再次传达到我身,读过后很容易萦绕在脑海的一段:侬寄信给Cyn,说很多个“Love You”,最后落回“Please wait for me”,Cyn说“They were always so full of love, but his pain was clear too”. 让我为侬再流泪一遍。 (展开)
