If Only You Knew

THE SENSATIONAL, INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: READERS ARE CALLING IT ‘FROM THE HEART, HONEST AND REVEALING’; ‘PERFECT’; ‘A BRILLIANT BOOK’

Pop legend Lulu looks back over her astonishing life with fresh eyes, reflecting on all she has learnt.

From the tenements of Glasgow to the Royal Albert Hall and the glittering lights of Hollywood: Lulu’s journey to fame and fortune is like no other British pop star. When she was 14 years old, she was invited down to London to sing, and the rest is history. She stepped into a part she played for the next 60 years. A part she played so well that she gradually lost who she was, becoming the version of herself she thought others wanted to see.

The book charts the highs and the lows of one of the longest running shows in British rock and roll history. It is the story of one woman’s determination to stay real, relevant and happy, and one which ultimately reveals a woman who is far stronger and far braver than anyone knew.

This is a pop memoir like no other.
