Description

This biography redefines Yoko Ono's life, shedding light on her often misunderstood and misrepresented journey. Once dismissed as a villain in the Beatles saga, Yoko's story is revealed beyond her association with John Lennon. Born into a wealthy family in pre-war Tokyo, she endured the horrors of war before becoming a pioneering figure in avant-garde art, music, feminism, and activism in London, Tokyo, and New York. The book explores how she faced intense public scrutiny, wrongly blamed for breaking up the Beatles, and yet continued to create groundbreaking work and advocate for peace. Drawing from David Sheff's interviews with Yoko, her family, and close friends, this biography offers a harrowing, moving, and ultimately redemptive portrait of Yoko Ono, elevating her legacy to iconic status.
