Born in the gutter, raised in a brothel, Edith Piaf took the world by storm and survived to become a legend.
Her almost unbelievable story is told here by her half-sister, who dedicates it to her, saying: 'For you, Edith, I have written this book faithfully, without cheating; it contains your laughter and your tears.'
A true child of the Paris streets, Piaf captured in every song the flavour of French life with an appeal that was international. And even when, behind the bright lights of success, there stalked black spectres of illness, drink and drugs, she could still sing:
Non, je ne regrette rien...
