THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLING AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM THE QUEEN OF ROCK 'N' ROLL

Love's got everything to do with it.

Tina Turner was the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. In this dramatic autobiography, she tells the story of a truly remarkable life in the spotlight.

From her early years picking cotton in Nutbush, Tennessee to her rise to fame alongside Ike Turner, and finally to her phenomenal success in the 1980s and beyond, Tina candidly examines her personal history, from her darkest hours to her happiest moments and everything in between.

In her honest and heart-felt voice, Tina reveals:

· How (love) and a kidney transplant saved her life - and how her new husband made an incredible personal sacrifice
· How she has coped with the tragic suicide of her son
· How ex-husband Ike Turner forced her to go to a brothel on their wedding night... and why she tried to kill herself because of Ike's mistresses
· The Cinderella moment when David Bowie made Tina a star ...
· ...and the day Mick Jagger ripped her skirt off!
AND MUCH MORE

Brimming with her trademark blend of strength, energy, heart and soul, My Love Story is a gripping, surprising memoir, as memorable and entertaining as any of her greatest hits.

Inspiring

A celebration of a life that shows you can turn life's most testing times into a life that gives others strength and courage to keep on going. We all know Tina is a legend through her music but this story invites us into her more personal side and what happened behind the stage.

Beautiful...

I thoroughly enjoyed the autobiography and learning about Tina's amazing life. The narrator's voice and drawl was off-putting and there were many times when I felt like she was reading to a young child. At several points I was tempted to quit as it was annoying but I persevered and eventually I accepted the voice and even enjoyed it towards the end. RIP Tina. You were an inspirational woman.

Authentic story

Enjoyed the story, had trouble hearing the real Tina behind the reader who placed inflictions in her tone that placed focus and was distracting at times to the story.

Honestly loved the Honesty

So many challenges, so much forgiveness, such an incredible talent. This is a real story of a real life… you can’t rate that but you can give 5 stars plus to Tina Turner and Anna Mae… so sad she is gone… so happy she had found a great love and life.

Amazing woman... an inspiration

Tina Turner, what an icon. This story was entertaining and gave great insight I to her thoughts, feelings and journey of her life. I loved her honestly and strength. The only downside is she hasn't narrated it. But after learning she has had a stroke I did understand. However the narrators voice could be annoying and the slow southern drawl got frustratingly irritating at times
