Product Description
Product Description
From humble beginnings in a dirt-poor mining town in Northern Canada, Shania Twain has become one of the most successful female solo artists of all time. At the age of eight her mother was taking her to sing in lumberjack bars and after-hours clubs; she lives now in a secluded Swiss mansion with her record producer husband and is worth over $100 million. Hits such as "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" ensured that her third album, "Come on Over", became the best-selling album in country music history. Robin Eggar has talked to close friends, family, and business associates to build a rounded portrait of the woman from the forests of Canada.
From the Author
The paperback edition has been fully revised, updated to include the birth of Shania's baby Eja and her new album Up! and corrected with new material from a variety of sources - most notably from an exclusive interview with the singer herself. During the interview Shania commented: You know more about my father's side of the family than I do.

I make no bones about this, I am a huge fan of Shania but this book will appeal to all who have even a passing interest in this enigmatic performer and her music, it even helps fathom the enigma of R J Mutt Lange, reclusive record producer, music business mogul and Shania's husband.
It has been written with compassion and also amazing attention to detail, proof of in-depth research and 100's of interviews with people that have known Shania many years, some since birth.
Read this book you will not be short-changed or disappionted, even Shania approved of the project and gave the author names of folks he should speak to in her home town, and understand that this lady does not suffer fools gladly, so any endorsement by Shania is all the endorsement that should be needed.
Thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommended, I loved the attention to detail and it is obvious from the writing that the author has a fascination for Shania and her "rags to riches" life. I really cannot think of anything negative to say so, go ahead buy the book, read, digest and above all enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this very insightful book about my fave singer. It was very detailed and is definitely value for money. Also the pictures found in the book were very good quality. Overall, I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the life of the brilliant singer Shania Twain.

I was drawn to this because I enjoyed Robin Eggar's biography of Tom Jones, and this didn't disappoint me. Lots of fascinating insights, gossip and a really good read.
