Josephine: The Hungry Heart

Great book described accurately - cant put it down!

The Hungry Heart is potentially a very interesting telling of the fascinating life of Josephine Baker but I am finding it hard going. Don't feel it is very well written.

The book was for my sister - and she has enjoyed it very much and still refers to the story from time to time.

I learned many interesting facts about her family history which will aid me in writing my book on Josephine Baker’s life in Philadelphia, as the wife of Philadelphia ‘s William Baker. I visited the street she lived on and was truly in awe as I had no idea she lived in Philadelphia.In addition, I wasn't aware that Jo Baker’s mother lived with her in Paris & is buried in France. Her siblings also lived in France.Great book for genealogist & historians.

Seeing Josephine on film sent me searching for more. Who was that? Where did she come from? How did she end up in Paris? How did she conquer the world? Jean-Claude answers these questions through his wounded heart. And then 14 years after writing this book, he takes his own life. More heartache.
