Product Description
Review
'Far from being seedy, this is an elegantly written book. The prose is simple, evocative and highly readable. I found myself wishing that our home-grown celebrities would write books full of ideas and feelings, not glossy magazine therapy-speak. A few of her highly stylised sentences tell far more about the whys and wherefores of exposure and fame than all the trash clogging the bestseller lists of late.' Belle de Jour, The Times 'This is a poignant, semi-intentionally hilarious autobiography. Her story is gripping.' Sunday Times 'A remarkable memoir. A series of impressionistic snapshots, delivered in austere, melancholic prose, it is quite unlike other show-biz memoirs and its candour is raw. Sylvia is a cult icon, she loosened our inhibitions. But the price was high.' Bridget Hourican The Gloss Magazine 'This is the kind of book that you want to press in to the hands of Big Brother contestants, X Factor stars, the people who have made Jordan's "novel" the number one bestseller in the land, Victoria Beckham. For a sharp lesson in what it is to be the object of men's desire, "Undressing Emmanuelle" is a darkly discomforting read. There's no bitterness or regret, and although there's a Francophone quality to the writing -- it gives the book a reflective edge that lifts it above the kind of celeb memoir commissioned here in Britain. This is the examined life.' Observer 'The childhood scenes are evocative and disturbing. As Kristel mulls over "the chaos of my young life", the reader will be wondering why she didn't replace Liv Ullmann as Ingmar Bergman's muse. But that career path was not to be.' Daily Telegraph 'Art-house misery memoir, effectively written in spare, exacting prose.' Time Out 'A very entertaining and at times hilarious tale.' Evening Herald 'A brave book, written with rare self-awareness for one of its kind.' Sunday Business Post
