'Boys in the Trees' is a rhapsodic,beautifully composed memoir of a young woman's coming of age amongst the glamorous literati and intelligentsia of Manhattan (her father was Richard Simon,co-founder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster),a reflection on a life begun amidst secrets and shame,and a powerful story of the strength to leave that all behind and forge a path of art,music and love in the Golden Age of folk and rock.                 At once an insider's look into a life in the spotlight,a lyric reflection on a particular time in our culture's history, and a beautiful memoir about the pains and joys of love and art, 'boys in the trees' is the story Carly Simon has long been waiting to tell the world.              Please contact seller,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
