When Serge Gainsbourg died, Jane put Munky in his coffin.
...Maybe because Jane had no close friends as a child, she used to confide all her secrets to Manky. To the plush confidant addressed and entries in the diaries, which Jane kept from the age of eleven. But in Jane Birkin herself there is nothing from the doll - it is a passionate and courageous woman, honest with herself and with others. Singer, actress and style icon is not afraid to challenge the prudes and hypocrites: sang with Gainsbourg scandalously famous "I love you ... I love you too no", appeared in public in shocking toilets, remaining at the same time a faithful wife, loving mother and caring daughter. Diaries of the incomparable Jane Birkin - a fascinating story about a whole era and the people who lived in it, sincere and frank...
