Descripción editorial
In The Most Beautiful, a title inspired by the hit song Prince wrote about their legendary love story, Mayte Garcia for the first time shares the deeply personal story of their relationship and offers a singular perspective on the music icon and their world together: from their unconventional meeting backstage at a concert (and the long-distance romance that followed), to their fairy-tale wedding (and their groundbreaking artistic partnership), to the devastating losses that ultimately dissolved their romantic relationship for good. Throughout it all, they shared a bond more intimate than any other in Prince's life. No one else can tell this story or can provide a deeper, more nuanced portrait of Prince--both the famously private man and the pioneering, beloved artist--than Mayte, his partner during some of the most pivotal personal and professional years of his career. The Most Beautiful is a book that will be returned to for decades, as Prince's music lives on with generations to come.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Actress, dancer, and choreographer Garcia takes great pains to bring sensitivity to the audio edition of her memoir recounting the tumultuous events surrounding her courtship with, marriage to, and divorce from pop superstar Prince, who died in 2016. Garcia's narrative tackles the late musician's conversion to the Jehovah's Witness faith and dependence on painkillers, and their tortured experience with tabloid rumors and speculation surrounding the death of their infant son. Gracia tastefully balances candor with a sense of boundaries and propriety related to the most intimate personal details. She offers explanations and insights, but this is not a tell-all celebrity biography. Garcia reads the audiobook in a conversational, but deliberately hushed manner. The pain of Prince's death is apparent throughout, even as she recounts fond memories. The audiobook includes photos from Garcia's and Prince's life together (found on disk seven, in a homage to Prince's hit song devoted to his lucky number). A Hachette hardcover.
