About this ebook
A revealing memoir of Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, from the woman who knew him better than anyone-his wife.
Rita Marley met Bob Marley in a recording studio in Trench Town, Jamaica when she was eighteen. A year later, they were married. The two of them set the world on fire. But life with Bob was not easy.
Written with author Hettie Jones, No Woman No Cry is an honest account of Bob and Rita’s life together, including never-before-told details of the famed songwriter’s life, from Bob’s multiple affairs to the attack that almost killed them both–and who did and didn’t come to his funeral.
No Woman No Cry is a must-read for any Bob Marley fan.
