Book Review of Linda McCartney: A Portrait

Linda McCartney: A Portrait
dazeerae avatar reviewed on + 55 more book reviews


There is so little out there on Linda McCartney that I'm glad to get some insight into the wife of Paul McCartney: rock photographer, band member (Wings), mother of four, and animal rights activist. However, author Danny Fields uses lots of filler, not enough meat (or as Linda would prefer: soy burger). Fields was good friends with Linda before she started seeing Paul, but Linda didn't maintain contact with the author or other New York journalist friends after becoming serious with the cute Beatle. Though her friendship with Fields may have suffered after Linda became caught up in the wirlwind post-Beatles break-up, the author has high regard for Mrs. McCartney and seems to be in awe of all that she accomplished, both professionally and personally.
