"In her own words, Joan Sutherland narrates the story of an unsuspected talent which grew to become perhaps the finest of its age. She writes of colleagues, such as Luciano Pavarotti, Marilyn Horne and Alfredo Kraus, often filling in the comic and practical details of performance, as well as detailing the immensely hard work and punishing travel. Above all, this is the autobiography of a natural star whose irrestible warmth, professionalism and sheer joie de vivre have earned her a permanent and undiminished place in the affections of the music world.
