Edith Piaf (Edith Giovanna Gassion, 1915–1963) was more than just a pop singer. Nicknamed "Little Piaf" in her youth, she embodied the essence of French song. "La Vie en Rose," "Hymn of Love," and "The Crowd" are still performed around the world today. Without limiting herself to legends (her impoverished childhood in Belleville, her pilgrimage to Saint Therese, who restored her sight, her morphine addiction, and her numerous love affairs with Marcel Cerdan, Yves Montand, Georges Moustaki, and others), the author shows us a woman who became part of her era, courageous and tender, taking risks and overcoming pain, a woman about whom Jean Cocteau said he had never met a person less stingy with her soul, "who did not spend it, but squandered it, throwing its gold to the wind."
