In Adele, bestselling biographer Sean Smith talks to those close
to her as he follows her astonishing journey to fame that began
on the gritty streets of Tottenham. Through compelling new
research and interviews, he reveals that there is far more to
Adele than the superstar we all think we know.
He uncovers the story of her complex family relationships; the
ill-starred love affair between her mother and father; her
devastation at the untimely death of her grandfather; and her
seemingly unpromising future in a gang-ravaged area of South
London.
She found salvation at the BRIT School before a series of unhappy
love affairs provided the inspiration for her record-breaking
albums.
