Brightly written autobiography, Which is like a novel, immerses readers in the childhood of Gordon Samner. Starting his way in a provincial English town, he managed to conquer the whole world with his talent and drive.

Sting does not seek to tell the chronological and super -proper history of his life. Rather, he collects memories of places and people like a patchwork blanket, drawing the attention of readers to certain, most significant events for him.

The narrative begins in his childhood in the old Victorian house, where his mother introduces the future star with the world of music, enthusiastically playing tango on the piano. The memoirs end on the banks of a quiet river, in which the body of a ritually killed girl is ended. By this moment, Sting had already gained fame, his group The Police managed to break up, the marriage ended in divorce and he lost both parents. Nevertheless, he understands that the future is unbrelying, everything is ahead: “I would like to believe that it was broken, in the end they fixed it, but what was wrong was corrected.”

this The book is a great gift not only to fans of Sting, but also to everyone who loves thoughtful reading and British prose.
