John

In this poignant and revealing memoir, Cynthia Lennon shares the untold story of her life with John Lennon, one of the most iconic figures in music history. From their days as young students in Liverpool to the chaos and complexity of Beatlemania, John offers a deeply personal glimpse into the man behind the legend.

Cynthia recounts their early romance, secret marriage, and the challenges of raising their son Julian in the shadow of global fame. With honesty and emotional clarity, she explores the highs and lows of their relationship—his tenderness and wit, but also his struggles with fame, identity, and personal demons.

First published in 2005, John provides a unique insider’s perspective on the Beatles’ world and offers a humanizing portrait of Lennon, far removed from the public myth. More than just a biography, it’s a woman’s story of love, loss, and resilience in extraordinary circumstances.
