#1 New York Times Bestseller
A People Magazine Top Ten Book of the Year

'A sensational memoir... brilliantly well written. Carly Simon is incapable of writing a boring sentence... you can forgive anything for the unparalleled brilliance of her writing' - Lynn Barber, Sunday Times

'Hugely affecting memoir... heartfelt and remarkable' - Fiona Sturges, Independent

Carly Simon is a household name. She was the staple of the '70s and '80s Billboard charts and was famously married to James Taylor with whom she has two children. She has had a career that has spanned four decades, resulting in thirteen top 40 hits, including the Number 1 song 'You're So Vain', numerous Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her song 'Let the River Run' (from the film Working Girl).

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.

Praise for the US edition:

'One of the best celebrity memoirs of the year' Hollywood Reporter

'Compelling' Rolling Stone
