About this listen

In The Most Beautiful, a title inspired by the hit song Prince wrote about their legendary love story, Mayte Garcia for the first time shares the deeply personal story of their relationship and offers a singular perspective on the music icon and their world together: from their unconventional meeting backstage at a concert (and the long-distance romance that followed) to their fairy-tale wedding (and their groundbreaking artistic partnership) to the devastating losses that ultimately dissolved their romantic relationship for good. Throughout it all they shared a bond more intimate than any other in Prince's life. No one else can tell this story or can provide a deeper, more nuanced portrait of Prince - both the famously private man and the pioneering, beloved artist - than Mayte, his partner during some of the most pivotal personal and professional years of his career. The Most Beautiful is a book that will be returned to for decades, as Prince's music lives on with generations to come.

Written and read by Mayte Garcia.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A wonderful, heartfelt work that honours the memory of Prince

I've been an enthusiastic fan of Prince's work since the mid-80's. with this book, Mayte has put together a truely inspiring story, taking us on the roller coaster ride that was her decade+ long relationship with Prince.
It brought back so many wonderful memories of the Prince concerts & after parties I've attended, including the first time he toured Sydney (with a young Mayte) in the Diamonds and Pearls tour.

I just want to thank Mayte for sharing her heart with us. The world is still grieving the loss of this musical genius and this book helps to salv the wounds left when he left us.

Listening to the audio version, read by Mayte made it alll the more touching.

Thank you Mayte, may God bless you and your most beautiful family.

Exceptional Book!!

Mayte gave an exceptional performance of this wonderful story. It really did feel like it was from the heart, and you felt all her emotions, especially during the unfortunate parts of her life, but even the uplifting moment she finally had the child she so badly wanted. I cried a number of times. Thank you for a wonderful book Mayte.

Gentle Yet Compelling

I didn’t know anything about Mayte Garcia before I stumbled upon this book, but being a huge Prince fan I was naturally very intrigued to hear about him from someone so close to him. This isn’t a tell-all filled with torrid revelations, it is not a get-even - this is about Mayte first and foremost and I found the description and reminiscences of her early life almost as interesting and fascinating as the account of her time with Prince. Mayte, you have a beautiful voice, so easy to listen to, and I love the honesty, respect and love for Prince and Amiir that shines through. I highly recommend this book.

Tears go here...

There’s so much love and pain in Mayte’s story. I found myself sobbing with her more times than I’d like to admit. This is her true gift - being able to express the joys and pains of her larger-than-life experiences whilst making them relatable.
Her heart is pure and so strong, and it’s honesty is present in every word she reads. It is a beautiful story, and I highly recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in Prince.
