The memory of Edith Piaf still lingers on. Her death has left a void hard to fill up. Much has been written and told about the performer, and yet, almost everything is left to tell about the woman. Simone Berteaut, who has lived thirty years of Piaf's life, side by side, tells it in this work, rated by L'Express as an "amazing book, with the breath of truth, about a charcter who seems to be ripped off a Zola's novel".
