Ciccone, Christopher

Life with My Sister Madonna

Mint condition. Simon & Schuster, 2008. First UK edition-first printing(10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). Black hardback(gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj(small nick and scratch on the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Illustrated with colour, b/w photos. The book is new with a small nick on the outer edge of the pages. 344pp. Price un-clipped. Product Description: Christopher Ciccone's extraordinary memoir is based on his forty-seven years of growing up with, working with and understanding the most famous woman of our time who has intrigued, scandalized and entertained millions for half a century. Through most of the iconic star's kaleidoscopic career, Christopher played an important role in her life: as her back-up dancer, her personal assistant, her dresser, her decorator, her art director, her tour director. If you think you knew everything there is to know about Madonna, your are wrong. Only Christopher can tell the full-scale, riveting untold story behind Madonna's carefully constructed mythology, and the real woman behind the glittering facade. From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended, then whisked Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eighties, where he slept on her roach-infested floor and danced with her in clubs all over town - Christopher was with her every step of the way, experiencing her first-hand in all her incarnations. The spoiled daddy's girl, the punk drummer, the raunchy Boy Toy, Material Girl, Mrs. Sean Penn, Warren Beatty's glamorous Hollywood paramour, loving mother, Mrs. Guy Ritchie, English grande dame - Christopher witnessed and understood all of them, as his own life was inexorably entwined with that of his chameleon sister. He tangled with a cast of characters from artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, to Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Demi Moore and, of course, Guy Ritchie, whose advent in Madonna's life splintered the loving relationship Christopher once had with her. The mirror image of his legendary sister, with his acid Ciccone tongue, Christopher pulls no punches as he tells his astonishing story. Life with My Sister Madonna is the juicy, can't-put-it-down story you've always wanted to hear, as told by Madonna's younger brother. Fine/Fine. ISBN: 9781847374387

Review: For 53 years the debonair, mid-Atlantic tones of Alistair Cooke have graced the airwaves, bringing us a weekly Letter from America that told us more about happenings Stateside than any number of solemn, academic analyses ever did. But the man himself always remained something of an enigma. Now Nick Clarke, presenter of Radio 4's World At One, has delved into Cooke's past and discovered a rich and often surprising life story. For Cooke was very much a self-made man and beneath that mild demeanour was a lot of burning ambition. He was born into humble circumstances in Salford in 1908, under the name of Alfred Cooke. Within 25 years he had reinvented himself as Alistair, with no trace of a Northern accent, but instead a Cambridge graduate, sometime resident of Hollywood, friend of Charlie Chaplin and soon to marry into one of America's most famous families. n nBiographies of secondary characters such as Cooke can read like an awful lot of effort for not very much result. But here is a fine exception. Cooke's life really does illuminate the course of the century and the endless misunderstandings, divisions and strange, touching harmonies that underlie the Special Relationship between Britain and America.
