Infos

This is Martha Wainwright's heartfelt memoir about growing up in a bohemian musical family and her experiences with love, loss, motherhood, divorce, the music industry and more. Born into music royalty, the daughter of folk legends Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III and sister to the highly-acclaimed singer Rufus Wainwright, Martha grew up in a world filled with such incomparable folk legends as Leonard Cohen, Anna McGarrigle, Richard and Linda Thompson, Pete Townsend and Emmylou Harris. It was within this loud, boisterous, musical milieu that Martha came of age, struggling to find her voice until she exploded onto the music scene with her 2005 debut and critically acclaimed album,Martha Wainwright,which contained the blistering hit, ';Bloody Mother F*cking Asshole', which theSunday Timescalled one of the best songs of that year. Her successful debut album and the ones that followed such asCome Home to Mama,I Know Youre Married but Ive Got Feelings Too andGoodnight Citycame to define Marthas searing songwriting style and established her as a powerful voice to be reckoned with. InStories I Might Regret Telling You, Martha digs into the deep recesses of herself with the same emotional honesty that has come to define her music. She describes her tumultuous public-facing journey from awkward, earnest and ultimately rebellious daughter, through her intense competition and ultimate alliance with her brother, Rufus, to the heart-breaking loss of their mother, Kate, and then, finally, discovering her voice as an artist. With candour and grace, Martha writes of becoming a mother herself and making peace with her past struggles with Kate and her younger self. Ultimately,this bookoffers a thoughtful and deeply personal look into the extraordinary life of one of the most talented singer-songwriters in music today.
