As one of the most enigmatic and fascinating women of our time, Madonna is the undisputed female icon of the modern age. She is widely admired for her independence, self-confidence, refusal to compromise and willingness to take a risk. But while much of her life seems to be an open book, a closer look suggests that it is Madonna herself who controls what we read. In this new paperback format of his best-selling title Madonna, Andrew Morton speaks to those in her inner circle about her ambitions, lifestyle and relationships with family, friends and men. Their stories and insights give a fresh and revealing perspective on arguably the most famous woman on the planet. Andrew Morton sheds light on what powers the Madonna phenomenon and examines whether the face she presents today is that of a woman who is fulfilled personally and professionally, or one who is still seeking a more perfect Madonna.
