Synopsis
Lesley Garrett is Britain's best-loved soprano, with a steadily growing following across the globe. Now she recollects, in her own characteristic down-to-earth way, the heart-warming story of her life and career so far. Born in a cottage in South Yorkshire Lesley Garrett learnt to sing before she could talk. She trained as an opera singer, and is now Britain's best-selling soprano recording artist, renowned for her success in making opera more accessible, and a regular performer on television as well as the stage. Lesley has had to overcome ill-health, critical disapproval and painful choices between her professional and private life, but she has faced them all with her unique brand of humour and determination. She has encouraged thousands to share her passion for music, and now, in her autobiography, she invites them to share her memories.

Review
'This refreshingly honest and open autobiography is a captivating story written from the heart, without pretence or pomposity but penned with the pride and insight of someone who truly knows who she is.' -- Lancashire Evening Post 'An engaging and enjoyable read.' -- Scotsman 'Her autobiography is written from the heart - not the celebrity ego trip that is often produced. It has grit, warmth, humour and the odd watery-eye moment.' -- Choice 'The diminuitive diva's account of the early years growing up in Yorkshire and the hardships her family went through, along with her schooldays and friendships, is warmly depicted - [Notes From a Small Soprano] is more honest than most volumes of its type.' -- Manchester Evening News
