'Absorbing' Telegraph
'Gentle, empathetic, committed to righting undeniable wrongs' Sunday Times, Book of the Week
'Illuminating and affectionate... an intimate and perceptive portrait' Publishers Weekly
An intimate and revelatory biography of Yoko Ono from bestselling author of Beautiful Boy
David Sheff met Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1980 when conducting an in-depth interview with them just months before John's murder. In the aftermath, Sheff and Yoko became close friends as she rebuilt her life, survived threats and continued creating groundbreaking art and music. Drawing from their decades-long friendship and interviews with Yoko, her family, close friends and collaborators, Sheff shares the story of one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived.
Yoko spans from her birth to wealthy parents in pre-war Tokyo and her harrowing experience as a child during WW2 to her arrival in the avant-garde art scenes of London, Tokyo and New York. We see how she coped under the most intense, relentless and cynical microscope as she was falsely vilified for the most heinous cultural crime imaginable: breaking up the greatest rock-and-roll band in history.
So often remembered only for her impact on The Beatles, Yoko has been caricatured as an opportunistic seductress or manipulative impostor. Yoko delves into her life as an artist, musician, feminist and activist, reframing her incredible achievements independent of Lennon.
Yoko is a harrowing, moving, propulsive and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. It highlights Ono's incredible talent and acknowledges her as a true artistic icon.

'There have been other biographies of Ono . . . Sheff's is the closest to an authorised one the world will get . . . I applaud Sheff's book as an important corrective to years of bad PR. He's done the opposite of a hatchet job, putting his subject back together branch by branch' New York Times Book Review
