As she is about to turn 70, the most Francophile of English sopranos decided to share her life story with Olivier Bellamy. The woman who Carlos Kleiber called the best in the world – and affectionately, Meine Marschmallow as a reference to the role of the Maréchale in Der Rosenkavalier – recounts her childhood, her training, her memorable encounters and her greatest roles: wonderful in Mozart and Strauss, touched by grace as an interpreter of French songs, she reveals herself fully, with her signature blend of whimsy and self-deprecation.

The book also includes a section of previously unpublished photos.
