Now in paperback, Christopher Cicconeâs âbreathless tell-allâ (Time) based on his fortyseven years of growing up with, working with, and understanding one of the most famous women of our timeâMadonna.
Only Christopher can tell the full scale, riveting untold story behind the woman who has intrigued, scandalized, and entertained millions for half a century. In Life with My Sister, Christopher reveals the real woman behind Madonnaâs carefully constructed mythology and glittering façade. From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended to whisk Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eightiesâChristopher was with her every step of the way, experiencing all her incarnations firsthand. The spoiled daddyâs girl, the punk drummer, the raunchy Boy Toy, Material Girl, Mrs. Sean Penn, Warren Beattyâs glamorous Hollywood paramour, loving mother, Mrs. Guy Ritchie, English grande dameâChristopher witnessed and understood all of them, as his own life was inexorably entwined with that of his chameleon sister. He tangled with a cast of characters from artist Jean- Michel Basquiat, to Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Demi Moore, and, of course, Guy Ritchie, whose advent in Madonnaâs life splintered the loving relationship Christopher once had with her. The mirror image of his legendary sister, with his acid Ciccone tongue, Christopher pulls no punches as he tells his astonishing story.
