description: &ldquo;In a new photo memoir, the author pays tribute to one of rock 'n' roll's most iconoclastic women.&rdquo; &ndash;<i>Harper&rsquo;s Bazaar<br><br></i>"50 Years of Tears: Marianne Faithfull's Amazing Second Act.&#160;This gorgeous coffee-table book captures a pop icon from the Swinging Sixties to today." &ndash;<i>Rolling Stone<br><br></i>&ldquo;Even when others are inclined to whitewash the past, Marianne Faithfull has never been shy about anything. It&rsquo;s part of what makes her memoir so compelling, her photo book so appealing (tucked among a British Vogue fashion shoot, pictures by Cecil Beaton, Bruce Weber, Robert Mapplethorpe, David Bailey, are scrapbooked tear-outs of some of her most scandalous press), and her songs so refreshingly raw.&rdquo; &ndash;<i>Vogue</i><br> &#160;<br> &ldquo;What is so fascinating about <i>Marianne Faithfull: A Life on Record</i> is that it is not at all what one expects. The expectation was for this tale to be about the 60s pop idol and emblem of the go-go 60s fashion youth quake, how she fell into a life of drugs and despair, and how she clawed her way back to success; that assumption was quickly proven incorrect&mdash;to great surprise and enjoyment. What also sets apart <i>Marianne Faithfull: A Life on Record</i> is that it is written by the subject...The book comes off as a badge of honor for her that indeed she had one helluva life despite the pitfalls and the highs and lows of her personal and professional lives. Faithfull allows us to enter her life through an amazing assortment of personal photos as well as those that appeared in the media. Again, to bring this into a more intimate recounting of her life, the photos are accompanied by captions written in her own, idiosyncratic hand. <i>Marianne Faithfull: A Life on Record</i> is something that educates, informs, and entertains all at once.&rdquo; &ndash;<i>New York Journal of Books</i><br><br> "The British singer assembled." personal pics and the work of photographers like Steven Meisel and Anton Corbijn (and an intro by Salman Rushdie) in a memoir timed to the 50th anniversary of her debut single, &ldquo;As Tears Go By.&rdquo; &ndash;<i>Billboard.com</i><br> &#160;<br> &ldquo;[One of] Best Fall Books. The Youthquake poster child who went from Mick Jagger&rsquo;s muse to musical icon in her own right brings us along for the wild journey.&rdquo; &ndash;<i>Elle </i><br> &#160;<br> &ldquo;&hellip;the publication of a glorious coffee table book published by Rizzoli...&rdquo; &ndash;<i>Another Man Magazine</i>

  **_To their unlikely attraction_**
  
  
  When Alaric Defford, Lord Stafford, bursts into her life, widow Marianne
  Turner is shocked by their instant connection. She never expected to feel this
  way for another man, especially one so formidable and arrogant! Having vowed
  never to love again, Marianne hides behind the fact she’s a completely
  unsuitable match for him. But her resolve is tested when Alaric’s injured and
  nursing him back to health reveals a warmer, more passionate side to the
  viscount...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  “I can be a good patient,” Alaric told her with an altogether too-disarming
  grin.
  
  
  There was still a hot promise in his gaze, so she avoided it. There could
  never be anything between a lord and a humble widow they would not need to be
  ashamed of afterward. “I doubt you know how to be patient in any sense of the
