Lezersrecensie
An explosive and inspiring story of a woman who dared to break any barriers put in her way.
The most significant part of the whole story, for this telling, is her back-to-back-to-back health issues that started to compile literally on the day she married Bach and interrupted their honeymoon. Cancer, renal failure, vertigo, high blood pressure, a stroke — for the hardest working woman in show business, life was trying to punch down the queen of rock and roll much like her ex-husband (and her mother who consistently sided with the ex-husband decades after their divorce), yet — Tina being Tina — got up and carved her own path to healing. She did it with the assistance of a team of Swiss physicians and her inner strength.
This book details right up to the 2018 debut of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. She addendums the book with a note about her son Craig’s suicide in the middle of 2018, at age fifty-nine.
Tina has continuously redefined herself as a woman, a performer, a mother, and a citizen of the world. She lays out her narrative on no uncertain terms and pulls no punches while detailing her ex-husband’s penchant for actually pulling punches. Amid her medical scares and treatments, she finds resolve with her ex-husband’s memory and her mother: both of whom she believes never loved her and abandoned her emotionally, physically, and otherwise.
