The author met Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1980 during an interview, just a few months before John's murder. After the tragedy, Scheff and Yoko became close. This book is the story of the life of Yoko Ono, written on the basis of many years of friendship and interviews with the artist and her family and friends: from a difficult childhood during the Second World War to her first appearance on the avant-garde art scenes of London, Tokyo and New York. Yoko is often remembered only because of her influence on The Beatles and is caricatured as an insidious seductress and impostor. Thanks to Scheff, the reader sees an independent artist and musician, a brave activist and a true style icon.
