Cynthia Lennon writes "John"

A new book's out about John Lennon, written by his first wife Cynthia. It covers ground that has been well trod, but sounds interesting nonetheless, if you grew up with The Beatles as did my generation.

The Washington Post reports:

The book's real love story is Cynthia's fierce commitment to Julian -- "my best friend and the love of my life," as she puts it in her introduction. Julian, now 42, has written the book's foreword, thanking her for finally telling the story of the father "who let me down in so many ways." There's a photo on the back cover of him and his mother, with Julian looking hauntingly like his late father.
